    Hi together,

     

    I could fix the issue by doing the following steps:

    - check systemd-journal.log to see which volume is causing the problem

    - delete volume

    - create new volume with the same name and encryption enabled

    - delete new volume

    - create new volume with the same name without encryption

     

    (probably it's not necessary but I've done a reboot between each step)

     

    Now the system boots up without asking for an ecryption key.

     

    BR,

Welcome to the Community!

 

It would be best if you can contact Support so they can access it thru backend and fix it or if it's still possible, doing a Factory reset is another option. Doing OS-Reinstall might not work
