[Q] Encryption Password

Howdy everyone.
An hour ago I decided to encrypt my Optimus G Pro running SlimKat 4.4.2 and things have gone awry. During the encryption process it asked me for a "Pin". I assumed this was my lockscreen pin that it was asking for so I put that in. The next screen prompted me to plug in my device and wait ~1 hour. I came back to the phone rebooted at the decrypt screen asking for a password.
I have tried the Pin I gave before I hit the encrypt button (which was my lock screen pin) as well as my Google account password but nothing is working.
Was the encryption setup supposed to ask me for another password specifically for encrypting / decrypting or is it my lock screen code that isn't working? Or is there a default password that it's on that I change after encrypting? If not, I guess I'll be doing a factory reset.
Edit: Ended up just factory resetting it.

CM 12 swipe Down To Unlock Always Before Pin

Hi,
i searched everywhere but i can't find a solution for my problem.
How can i disable the swipe up to unlock BEFORE i come to the PIN or password input?
Doesn't matter if i unluck with pattern, PIN or password, i always have to swipe before. Isn't it possible that when i turn on my phone,
that i can directly write my pin or password or pattern without swipe up first?
I have a LG G3 d855 with CM12
Best regards,
Matthias

Pattern unlock not working

Strange issue. So I decided to flash AICP and gave it a shot, but for some reason the setup did not go past the 'set fingerprint' screen. So I decided to head back to my OOS nandroid backup. But after boot I was not able to unlock the screen with the same pattern that I used to unlock both TWRP and the encryption of the device. What could be wrong?

It's a twrp bug. Before u make a nanodroid backup remember to remove your lockscreen password

I setup pattern-unlock yesterday and used it a few times. Now that same pattern isn't working. I can boot into TWRP and that pattern will work. So I factory reset and the pattern lock is still there and I am still unable to get into my phone. How can I fix this?
Edit: I forgot to mention that I am getting an error "unable to mount storage".

Wrong encryption pattern after flash

Hi,
Today I tried to flash a new version of Lineage OS on my phone, while the encryption pattern on boot was stil enabled. I didn't realise this would cause such a problem..
Right after flashing Lineage OS the way it should, a message pops on the screen asking me to enter my pattern to start the device while booting, so I entered my code after which it says my code is wrong. The strange thing is that TWRP also asks for that code on startup, except now code is working.
So I can boot in recovery mode and decrypt the device with my old code, but as soon as I try to start the rom (tried LineageOS, my Nandroid backup and AOSPA) the same code doesn't seem to work.
I've already tried this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/psa-twrp-backups-lockscreen-security-t3245070, but this resulted in a bootloop.
Any idea how I can get rid of this problem and start using my phone again?
Thanks alot in advance!

Fixed it by using the 'Format Data' function in the wipe screen of TWRP! :good::good:
