    Can you get grub to appear? If you can an easy way to get in
    Go to the end of the line with options and add to the end I think
      shell=/bin/sh
    I have it in a notebook  at work and will double check. I have
      used it to get by passwrods many times.
    I wil post the answer in the AM

      That's a killer. I had some similar issue some
        years ago. Bruteforce luks and the entire boot process is slow.
        So the whole thing cant take weeks or even months depending on
        the size of the password. After 4 weeks with an i7 and 8g of ram
        it barely made it pass the 5 or 6 character length tries. Make a
        clone of the luks header and run bruteforce luks as iso image on
        multiple computers. You might speed up the process.

                If you remember some part of your password it might be
                possible to use
                the bruteforce-luks package to recover the full
                password, if that
                fails then you will need to reinstall and restore data
                from any
                backups you might have.
