Yes, I noticed my mistake there just now.

i give: Deriving encryption key (this can take some time)...done
The filesystem id in the config file is different to the last time we loaded a
filesystem from this basedir. This can be genuine if you replaced the
filesystem with a different one. If you didn't do that, it is possible that an
attacker did. Do you want to continue loading the file system?
Your choice [y/n]:

Anyway, I think when I was trying to open it before seeking support, I might
have corrupted or something similar to the file. Luckily, I had a backup in
another encryption, so I guess there won't be any recovery. With everything
considered, I appreciate the support!

Hi, 
Thanks for your answer. Worked to open but the folder is empty. I just
remembered when I did the apt upgrade, it was open and had some security and
firmware updates, could it have some relevance? 

Ps. in this step i put Y.
cryfs /home/user/Vaults/folder/ /tmp/folder
CryFS Version 0.10.2

Use default settings?
Your choice [y/n]: y
