Can't Resume Decryption of External HD

I need a solution

I was in the process of decrypting an external USB HD when my house lost power.  Now that power is restored.... I went to resume the decryption process with no success.  This is what I have done so far.......any and all help would be greatly appreciated:

 

  1. Command line Status of External Drive:
  • pgpwde --status --disk 1
    Disk 1 is instrumented by bootguard.
      Encryption (Decryption) process was interrupted improperly, possibly by BSOD or power failure.
      Current key is valid.
    Drive encrypted
      Total sectors: 976773168 highwatermark: 640700457 
 
  1. Attempted to resume decryption via command line:
  • pgpwde --resume --disk 1 -p PASSPHRASE
    Operation resume encrypt or decrypt failed:
    Error code -12000: bad parameters
 
  1. Attempted to start new decryption process:
  • pgpwde --decrypt --disk 1 -p PASSPHRASE
    Operation start decrypt disk failed:
    Error code -11959: disk locked
 
  1. Displayed config of disk:
  • pgpwde --show-config --disk 1
             Login Message: 
    Display Startup screen: No
      Display Machine Name: Yes
              Machine Name: 
         Use Audio Prompts: No
              User lockout: Disabled
        Allow user decrypt: Yes
    Request sent to Show configuration information was successful
 
  1. I only have one user associated to this disk:
  • pgpwde --list-user --disk 1
    Total of 1 user:
      User  1: Name: USERNAME Type: Symmetric
    System Record Information:
          Disk UUID: e6e58907-0022-4145-afa3-fb79589bdf69
         Group UUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
    Attribute Information:
      S = SSO, O = Offloaded, L = Locked out, A = Anti Theft, M = Managed Admin
      LSR = Local Self Recovery Available
    Request sent to List users on disk was successful
 
The passphrase is correct...because when I intentially mistype it....it tells me wrong passphrase.   I've searched other answers about the disk locked error...but it refers to a universal server and using WDRT.   I'm a standalone client not managed by a server....so that solution didn't apply.  Didn't find anything on the bad parameters error code so far.
