`init=/bin/sh` is what you're thinking of, but it won't work here,
since the drive is encrypted.

Can you get grub to appear? If you can an easy way to get in

Go to the end of the line with options and add to the end I think 
shell=/bin/sh


I have it in a notebook  at work and will double check. I have used it 
to get by passwrods many times.


I wil post the answer in the AM

That's a killer. I had some similar issue some years ago. Bruteforce 
luks and the entire boot process is slow. So the whole thing cant take 
weeks or even months depending on the size of the password. After 4 
weeks with an i7 and 8g of ram it barely made it pass the 5 or 6 
character length tries. Make a clone of the luks header and run 
bruteforce luks as iso image on multiple computers. You might speed up 
the process.

If you remember some part of your password it might be
possible to use
the bruteforce-luks package to recover the full password, if that
fails then you will need to reinstall and restore data from any
backups you might have.

That sounds like an initramfs shell, which isn't helpful here.
You will need to boot a Debian live image, install bruteforce-luks and
then try to crack the password.
