Help! Passphrase no longer decrypts my disk

For some unknown reason I can no longer decrypt my disk with the passphrase that I had been using for months. I thought that this could be a keyboard layout problem, therefore I have also tried typing my passphrase as if I was using the English(US) keyboard layout, like this answer suggests, but it fails to decrypt the disk.
What should I do now?
I have an Ubuntu Live USB image in one of my usb flash drives. Can I use it to solve this?

You can use the Ubuntu live image to check if your keyboard is working... if so then you have a problem with your password/encrypted disk and I think that your disk is gone.
