    I have an Acer aspire 5732z whit which i got MyWinlocker Installed, two days ago while trying to install Linux on my system my windows could not boot so i had to format my system and recovered it using acer recovery disks, Now my Data in YoSafe is also lost but i recovered a file named MWL_PSD_drive.vmdf which was my Yosafe partition using EASEUS Data Recovery.
    Now when i right click on this file and select decrypt and enter my previous password it gives an error stating "password processing failure encountered" . Now if i click retry it gives a different error stating "File access error"
    Please help me recover my files, i will be really thankful to you.

    Hi,

    if you don't have a backup of the encryption keys, then your data is lost unless you restore them from the backup you have.
    (Data without backup are unimportant by definition)
