Hi All,

If anybody can help me, I tried a lot and getting kind of in circles.

After changing password, I somehow lost a lot (wallet), but what hurts
is my encrypted home directory.

It wasn’t mounting, but Googling and trying things I got the following:
     - Managed to recover it (into /tmp), decrypted content and
filename - all good
     - Mounting into /mnt/test, got decrypted filenames, but can’t get
into anything attributes has lots of “?” (e.g. d??????????   ? ?     ?
      ?            ?  Downloads/)
     - Somehow, I managed to get it mounted as my home, but filename
remain encrypted
(ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FXY12C18aOyb1kR7pQyWVDYkii52g8f.VRjbv5ieRYxPy-L4A3kpjkGFMUtfNmrT6hwhhbY1jtXaSgs-/)

Can anybody help me with steps how-to recover this without loosing data?

Thank you
