downgraded my nook from cm12 to cm11 and now am getting "Encryption unsuccessful"

i have 2 nook hds and were running lollipop on both units before going back to cm11 the install on my nook hd worked perfectly. however on my wifes nook hd i get an error saying "encryption unsuccessful" when i installed cm11. i used the the lastest available cm11 nightly on both installs and followed the steps. i am at a loss right now as to why my unit works great and im getting an error on my wifes. anyways, i have twrp installed and tried to wipe all data off the the tablet with the advanced wipe and format data functions to try and clear everything off and start again. wondering if ther is a more complete formatting tool that i can use to wipe everything off the tablet and start clean again? any help or direction is appreciated.

thanks everyone!

Which version of recovery did you use to re-flash CM11 on the 3 tablets?

...

You should never wipe any partition other than the /data and /cache partitions (the /system partition automatically gets wiped on flashing a new ROM image). In particular the two partitions /bootdata and /factory which contain factory-installed individual device data must never be reformatted/wiped (without first backing up their content in a restorable form) lest you permanently brick your tablet.

I believe I loaded twrp 2.8.7.4 on both. Thanks for the helpful info. Your greatly appreciated.

I'd suggest you try using the older but well-proven recovery for CM11 -- CWM v6.0.4.6.

Thanks for the advice. It worked with CWM!
