Encrypted partition password prompt

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I have a new 15.5 installation on my laptop; unfortunately I set-up an encrypted partition with a boot time mount; I subsequently used yast->partitioner to disable the boot time mount; the problem I have is that during the boot I am still being prompted for the encrypted partition pass phrase even though the encrypted partition is no longer mounted at boot; how do I disable this unnecessary boot time prompt for the pass phrase?

Edit “/etc/crypttab”. Find the entry for that partition. Either comment out the line (insert ‘#’ as the first char of that line), or add “noauto” as an option (the 4th column).

You will need to edit this as root. I use “vi” (really “vim”) but you can use “nano” for editing if you are not experienced with “vi”.
