Hi,<br>
<br>
I have an encrypted home dir (Ubuntu 12.04 lts) and I'm 95% sure I<br>
remember the correct password. Of course, I don't want to reboot unless<br>
I'm 100% sure of it. I think there's a command to check this (or at<br>
least reset it). Can anyone give me a pointer?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
