Lets start from the beginning. In default installation you should have
LUKS container on one partition. You should be able to access it
from console (from whatever running linux - Tails, Qubes installation
disk in rescue mode or anything else):

Check what partition it is:

    sudo blkid

Search for TYPE="crypto_LUKS", on my system it is /dev/sda3, so lets go
to the next step:

    sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sda3 sda3crypt

This should ask you for your disk passphrase. If all goes well, you
should get /dev/mapper/sda3crypt. If not, examine LUKS header:

    sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda3

You should see at least one key slot "ENABLED". If not (and you don't
have any backup), there is no way to recover the data.

Next step is to activate LVM - this is what lies inside LUKS container
on Qubes. This is easy:

    sudo vgscan -ay

You should get /dev/qubes_dom0/root, which you can mount normally and
access your data - VM data images are in /var/lib/qubes/appvms.
