Steps

# Note that if anything fails after the passphrase was changed and
# before it's changed back below, subsequent scenarios might fail
# because the Persistent Storage doesn't have the expected passphrase.

And I shutdown Tails and wait for the computer to power off 15.328

And I change the passphrase of the Persistent Storage back to the original 14.184
