Basic encryption module - Help for total beginners!

Hello!

This is probably a really silly little problem for you on here but I am struggling to find an answer! I would really appreciate your help!
I have set up a new account on disroot and promptly had to renew my password because I’m working in different languages and messed up the keys on the keyboard. Now I have this message popping up: “Invalid private key for encryption app. Please update your private key password in your personal settings to recover access to your encrypted files.” but I can’t remember my old password!
Does anyone know what I could do now?
