    So after creating and moving files over to the container i un-mounted the container and shutdown veracrypt. About a week later i wanted to access the files again (today) to get errors not allowing me to mount the container. I got the following on 1.22, which is also the version the container was created with.

    Operation failed due to one or more of the following:

    • Incorrect password.
    • Incorrect Volume PIM number.
    • Incorrect PRF (hash).
    • Not a valid volume.
      Source: MountVolume:8090

    I since updated to latest beta version 1.23-beta1 after doing my own digging around on the forums with no success. I now get the error:

    Operation failed due to one or more of the following:

    • Incorrect password.
    • Incorrect Volume PIM number.
    • Incorrect PRF (hash).
    • Not a valid volume.
      Source: MountVolume:8138

    I know the password, I even tried mounting a second container with same issue.

    I sent email to VeraCrypt company : https://www.idrix.fr
    but there is No answer.
    I am looking 3 weeks for a solution, but no result.
    Veracrypt is a disaster

    I have unistalled Veracrypt 1.22 and installed Veracrypt 1.23 beta.
    I received the error message:
    Source: MountVolume:8138

    Have you tried restoring the volume header from the backup embedded in the volume?
    Here are the steps from Troubleshooting section of Veracrypt documentation :

    Run VeraCrypt.
    Click Select Device or Select File to select your volume.
    Select Tools > Restore Volume Header.

      When I try to restore it still makes me require the password and comes back with:

      Operation failed due to one or more of the following:

      • Incorrect password.
      • Incorrect Volume PIM number.
      • Incorrect PRF (hash).
      • Not a valid volume
        Source: RestoreVolumeHeader: 10515

      Using 1.23 Beta-1

    Also have the same problem, have 2 usb sticks, before windows 10 1803 I was able to mount both, now after the 1803 update I can't mount the usb sticks anymore...... Password is 100% correct, tried embedded backup header option, settings are correct. What is going on???
