1. Figure out the correct raw device. It's one of the /dev/sd* devices, but 
the important question is: which one?!
WARNING: Make sure it's the correct one! You don't want to accidentally 
erase your hard disk!

2. Use dd to copy /dev/zero over the raw device found in 1. That will wipe 
out the whole drive and get rid of encryption and anything else. It can then 
be repartitioned and reformatted from scratch.
WARNING: Once again: Make sure you don't dd over the wrong drive!!!
