Continue encrypting System Disk via unencrypted System

So, I ran into a problem and hope and you can help me fix it. I tried encrypting my system disk and after the whole process the VeraCrypt Bootloader wouldn't accept my password, which was 100% right. So I tried all the tools on my Rescue Disk and it still wouldn't boot. Therefore I created a new unencrypted windows system on another volume, installed VeraCrypt and when I tried decrypting my former system it told me, that the encryption hasn't been completed. So can I somehow complete the encryption of this system disk, or decrypt it, without accessing it, which sadly isn't possible?
EDIT: Also: I'm really sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I have no Idea, where I should ask this

The first time you must enter the password at boot is during the system encryption test. The drive is noy yet encrypted at this point, this is just a dry run to make sure the password works and that the driver works. If you attempt to put in the password and it's not working, then hit "ESC" and it will bypass the password and continue to boot the computer.
Does your password have any international characters in it?
