Hi,
My PC was turned off for 2 weeks and when I restart it, the veracrypt initial screen no longer recognizes my password and says "Authorization failed. Wrong password, PIM or hash."
Has something similar happened to anyone? I am entering the correct password.
Thanks
Good evening. I had similar situation after inaccurate dismounting external HDD drive, encrypted with VeraCrypt. I have used CCcleaner (freeware) to cleanup the system with standard settings, and it surprisingly helped. Good luck.
