I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Somehow it let me on install to encrypt the drive. I wrote down this LONG passphrase. Now it won't let me log in unless I have the passphrase. I have entered it a hundred times, and it won't work. I tried to re-install with a flash drive, but when I change boot order Linux over-rides it and still comes up with GRUB menu. I want to use Linux. I committed an entire computer to it. Now I can't get in. HELP!

When you are in the live USB/CD you need to create a new the partition table. To do this open up a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T type in
sudo gparted-pkexec
Now make sure you have selected the drive that is encrypted, Then click on Device menu and then click on create a partition table then create a msdos partition table. You shoud be fine with installing Ubuntu.
