Re: Remove disk encryption in Maintenance Mode

I am not sure what version mine last worked on. I would guess the default changed on 39 or 40. What fixed it for me (type plain password from stdin) was adding --hash ripemd160 (they appear to have changed the default hash, BAD developer). Guessing related to this: https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/
