Have you tried something similar to this from for example a live OS or rescue boot menu from a linux installation media (cd dvd usb etc...)

$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sd<yourEncryptedDiskId> <aNameThatwillBeCreatedIn:Dev/mapper> 

Like for exemple :

$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda tmpData 

and then

$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/<TheNameUsedEarlier> /mnt #wherever you want

so as in the exemple :

$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/tmpData  /mnt #wherever you want

now you can access your data.

Now that what needed to be done is done you can close the device :

$ sudo umount /mnt  
$ sudo cryptsetup luksClose  tmpData
