VeraCrypt and Windows System Image

[GluGlu]

Hi guys, hopefully somebody else had the same issue as I do, and can help.

I had Windows 10 installed and encrypted with VeraCrypt. I bought an AIO CPU cooler from Asus, meant to replace my old fan. In order to update the firmware for the new installed AIO, I had to download and install Asus Armory Crate software, which is full of bloatware and LOTS of unnecessary stuff. So I thought of the following:

Created a fresh Windows System Image so I can recover it after I update the AIO's firmware, and by recovering this, completely getting rid of the Armory Crate install by reverting my PC to the initial setup.

After creating the Windows System Image, I decrypted the drive, booted it with the original Windows install disk and recovered the System Image from the drive it was stored on.

Issue appeared when booting the recovered image. I am being asked for a Password by what looks like a VeraCrypt boot loader, I am typing my original password but I keep getting the wrong password error.

I have/had a lot of un-backed-up stuff on the image I saved, so if somebody can think of what I did wrong and what I can do to recover this, I will be forever thankful, maybe even a nice tip sent.

Thanks!

Solved! The ESC solution worked (found it browsing the forums while waiting for a reply).

Cheers all.
