The question is vague, can you be more specific? Is this drive encrypted and you're talking about the encryption passphrase? Or you're talking about the login passphrase? If the former, there is no way to break that encryption. If the latter, then just mount it normally and copy off what you want to keep - you don't even need to do this with live media, any Fedora installation can do this and bypass the user login. You might have to use sudo cp to copy the contents of files for which your new user doesn't have permissions for; and then fix that with:
sudo chown -R chris:chris /path/to/files/
where chris is whatever the login+owner name is on your current system.
non encrypted volume

What is the pathname of the volume , starting with /dev ? If you have that pasthanme, then you should be able to run mount -t <fstype> <absolute-volume-pathname> <absolute-mount-point-pathname>
You will have to be root to do so.
Also, check and see if your DT already mounted it in /run/<username>/....etc/...

Easy task at hand.
If the drive has more than one partition you'll have to do this for each one.
sudo mount /dev/sd?# /mnt (e.g. /dev/sdb4)
rsync -a /mnt/ /path/to/destination
umount /mnt
Cheers Mike. I did try mounting previously but did not work will try again tomorrow.

If you want proper help, please post the output of your mount attempt, e.g.
mkdir /test mount /dev/sdX /test
Where "X" is the proper partition/device number.
