In the event that you did not write down your mount passphrase, you may be able to recover it by decrypting the file /home/username/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase using your login passphrase.
If your login passphrase matches the passphrase used to encrypt the wrapped-passphrase file, your mount passphrase will be written to screen. Record and protect this data accordingly.
If you have lost your wrapped-passphrase file, and you did not record your mount passphrase, it is impossible to access your encrypted data.

There are two methods of using the live cd to open a encrypted home directory. The first will be the long way. The long way gives you more functionality in your home directory. It is also easier to do. The second will be the short way. The second way requires you to know about your system and how you partitioned it. It is more difficult to get more functionality, but is still possible. I prefer the long way.
The first thing you need to do is mount your linux partitions. Please use nautilus to do this. The guide will make a lot more sense if you do this. Nautilus is the default file manager of gnome. If you are using a kde or xfce live cd the syntax may be different below so please install nautilus if that is the case with this command.
~ $ sudo apt-get install nautilus
If you are confident in your ability to use the mount the command then you can use that, but you will have to manipulate the directory information below for it to work properly. Use this command to to find your Linux partitions.
~ $ sudo fdisk -l
My output
~ $ sudo fdisk -l

/dev/sda1 1 1245 9999360 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1246 5478 33998849 5 Extended
/dev/sda3 * 5479 12161 53681197+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda5 1246 1743 3998720 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 1744 5478 29999104 83 Linux
In this case you would have to to mount /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda6. I am going to assume you know how to do this if you want to manually mount your partitions.
Next you need find your „.Private“ directory. It is possible to have a „.Private“ symlink. So be careful. Use this command to find it.
~ $ sudo find / -type d -iname '.Private' 2>/dev/null
You should get something similar to this:
~ $ /media/<disk>/.ecryptfs/<user>/.Private ~ $ /media/<disk>/<user>/.Private
In my case I got the first one.
~ $ sudo find / -type d -iname '.Private' 2>/dev/null /media/4fa4e92e-3532-48fd-a83d-6ea340a669b6/.ecryptfs/bob/.Private
Next you need to find your keyring keys. This requires that you have your mount passphrase. You recorded when you setup the mount–this passphrase is different from your login passphrase. If you don't have your mount passphrase please read here (Recovering Your Mount Passphrase). Lets move on to getting those keyring keys. Put the sudo command into the terminal that you see below. This will be a interactive prompt. The left side of what you see is what you will see and the right side will give you more information. The second keyring in the square brackets is the important part.
Next you need to mount the appropriate „.Private“ directory. That you found earlier. You also need to understand the mount syntax to mount everything correctly.
sudo mount -t ecryptfs sdtm ldm
I recommend mounting at /home/username. Replace username with whatever username you want to use. I will be mounting at /home/bob. Since this is a live cd the directory will not exist, so you need to create it. Use this command to create your directory.
sudo mkdir /home/username
After you have created the directory that you want to mount at, please use this command that I showed you above.
sudo mount -t ecryptfs sdtm ldm
An example of putting all of this together would be:
sudo mount -t ecryptfs /media/4fa4e92e-3532-48fd-a83d-6ea340a669b6/.ecryptfs/bob/.Private /home/bob
Next you will have a interactive prompt.
If everything worked out correctly you should be able to see everything in /home/username. My files will be in /home/bob.
There are several possible things that can go wrong. I will cover them here.
Error mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory Check your system logs; visit <http://launchpad.net/ecryptfs>
This is a common error that you get if you use a invalid directory when you give the mount command.
It is possible to get the message Mounted eCryptfs and still not be able to see your data. This most likely means that you did not mount „.Private“ directory. It is also possible that you mounted the wrong directory. This happened to me and was quite difficult to figure out. Thanks to this question on launchpad I was able to figure it out.
https://answers.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+question/114209
Please check eCryptfs for any other problems.
As I said this method is more difficult. If your home directory is installed on your / root partition it makes life easier. If you have a /home partition then you need to find both your /home partition and / root partition. Use nautilus to mount your linux partitions. Then use these two commands so you can figure out if you have a /home partition or not.
~ $ sudo fdisk -l ~ $ df -h
Note: The linux partitions must be mounted or you will not be able to get the information you need.
Here is my output.
~ $ sudo fdisk -l

In my case I have a /home partition and / root partition. I can tell this by looking at /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda6. If you look at the sudo fdisk -l you can see /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda6 are my linux partitions. If you look at the df -h I can see /dev/sda6 is much bigger than /dev/sda1 so I know /dev/sda6 is my /home partition.
If you have a home directory and / root partition do this. http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/03/mounting-your-encrypted-home-from.html

We can access the data, as root, from the live CD (gksu nautilus) at /mnt/home/bodhi
If you have a /home partition and / root partition do this. I will now assume you know where /home partition and / root partition. Mount your /root partition like this. Replace the appropriate number for where your /root partition is.
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Mount your /home partition like this. Replace the appropriate number for where your /home partition is.
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/home
After that setup you chroot.
sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev sudo mount -o bind /dev/shm/ /mnt/dev/shm sudo mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
Then chroot
sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash
su to your username. My username is bob so I will use bob.
su - bob
Then decrypt home.

To access the data, do not exit the chroot. Open a new terminal and run nautilus as root.
gksu nautilus
You can not run graphical applications directly from the chroot, you would need to connect to the chroot via a VNC or ssh -X.
Perhaps an Encrypted Private Directory is not for you. To remove this setup:
$ ecryptfs-umount-private
$ chmod 700 ~/Private<
$ rm -rf ~/Private ~/.Private ~/.ecryptfs
$ sudo apt-get remove ecryptfs-utils libecryptfs0
A possible security problem that can crop up, is the event that the user logs in and then immediately leaves the computer physically usable to another person. The Private folder is unlocked as soon as the user logs in, the owner would not have had the chance to lock the folder, and the other person can take control of the computer and access it while the owner is away.
We can stop ecryptfs from unlocking the Private folder on startup, by removing the empty file auto-mount which is located in ~/.ecryptfs/, where you also can remove the auto-umount file, if you would like ecryptsfs to stop unmounting the private folder upon shutdown and logout.
For some reason the script fails to ask for a password, when you simply log out and in. You have to reboot the machine, or you will be able to just click on the mount script and the folder is mounted.
To resolve this problem, it is possible to have the script that unmounts the Private folder to run at login, so it cannot be accessed without the password being put in first. To do this:
This is a quick and dirty solution to this problem. If there's a better way, please replace this with it.
