I have a old Windows 11 laptop encrypted with Veracrypt that I have removed the m2 hard drive from.
I plugged the m2 hard drive into a USB-C m2 enclosure and connected it to my new Windows 11 computer.
On my new computer I opened Veracrypt and found the old hard drive using VeraCrypt -> “Select Device…”:
Harddisk 1: 1.8TB
- DeviceHarddisk1Partition 1: 100 MiB
- DeviceHarddisk1Partition 2: 16 MiB
- DeviceHarddisk1Partition 3: 1.8 TB
- DeviceHarddisk1Partition 4: 852 MiB
When I select the 1.8 TB and drive “A:”, then Mount, then enter the encryption password I get the following error:
- Operation failed due to one or more of the following:
- Incorrect password
- Incorrect Volume PIM number
- Incorrect PRF (hash)
- Not valid volume
- Volume uses and old algorithm that has been removed
- TrueCrypt format volumes are no longer supported.
Source: MountVolume:9135.
I am positive the password is correct.
I have also the “VeraCrypt Rescue Disk” saved on a USB disk named Lenovo-Idepad-Gaming-3-15IHU6.zip:

How can I access the files?
