Hello community!
I've tried to install Debian13 [Testing] using LiveDebian distribution.
In the middle of Manual partitioning management I did some major mistake which is not clear for myself what it was.
Perhaps I did LVM encryption on the LVM encrypted volume or something like that.
Have tried to remove those encrypted volumes and partitions from within the debian-installer but failed with info that 'partition is encrypted and mounted'.
Rebooted the machine with stable DebianLive [12].
Istalled and run GParted. It shows that all LVM volumes are locked.
So there's no chance to safely remove LVM ecrypted volumes from within GParted even with deactivated Volume Group:Neither could it be removed or owerwritten forcing removal.
My second attempt was to use help from https://www.reddit.com/r/Kalilinux/comm ... ?rdt=36009
I got stuck on the initial step of decrypt the LVM:It showed that my password is not valid. I used it from key-validator. So it is valid for sure.
I have followed advice to check if key is present for LVM to be decrypted from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/659 ... -with-luksIt seems that key is present and not lost.
How should I get rid of that LVM from both SSD and HDD? No data save is required as I have full backup.

Testing the passphrase doesn't solve the issue:
