I'm afraid your data is lost. When you entered a "new" passphrase, a new
random encryption key was created and stored (encrypted with the
passphrase) at the same location as the old one (see
/usr/src/sys/dev/softraid_crypto.c, line 571 and line 576). That means
the old encryption key has been overwritten and your disk content
reduced to bit rubbish. I just hope there wasn't too much important data
on the partition...
