I am using LUKS/dm-crypt to encrypt a storage drive I have (sdb).  I
wanted to change the LUKS passphrase on this volume, so I ran the
following command:

cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdb1

I was prompted for my passphrase and slot 0 was unlocked.  Then I went
to enter the new passphrases, so I entered it and was asked to verify.
I entered it again.  It gave me a prompt that the passwords did not
match.  No big deal, right?  I must have mistyped.  So I went through
the process again, but this time I was not able to unlock the master
key!  I am now locked out of my volume completely and I have no idea
what to do.

Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?  I should not be locked out
of my volume after failing to change the pass phrase!
