Thanks for replying. I was using the password for 5 months everyday so It's strange that it stopped working. I'm hoping It's not 4 corrupt LUKS headers, because I don't know how that could happen so quickly. I'm thinking dual booting LUKS linux and windows is a bad idea, unless it can be proven windows won't write anything to the partitions. I learned the hard way about the importance of backups.

@outtaluk If Windows had overwittten the LUKS headers they would be reported damaged. More likely a password or keyboard problem. Did you try to boot a live CD and unlock the partition from that?
