eCryptFs: Unable to mount after password change in recovery mode
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have reseted my user password using recovery mode.
Unfortunately after this operation I am unable to login into my account because my home directory is encrypted.
I can't mount my Private using ecryptfs-mount-private because it needs my previous password which I don't remember.
After many tries I was able to mount my Private using ecryptfs-recover-private and MOUNT passphrase. Thanks to this I have access to my files but still I am unable to login into my account (Private was mounted to temp directory).
Is there a way to change password used by ecryptfs-mount-private so I can normally login to my account?

To change your password you need to override wrapped-passphrase file which is located in /home/_USER_/.ecryptfs.
On the login screen press Ctrl + Alt + F2 to start terminal and login into your account.
Type ecryptfs-wrap-passphrase /home/_USER_/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase.
When you press enter you will see:
Passphrase to wrap: type here you mount passphrase. Next in Wrapping passphrase: type your current user password.
Now you can exit the terminal and go back to login screen by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F7. You should be able to login.
