While the TWRP is installed (used the one from @codeworkx) - I am not able to wipe dalvic/data/system since it is asking for a password. If the password is skipped, then while wiping it says cannot mount. Help required, if anyone faced similar issue.

Haven't updated on this one just yet but if you are unlocking the bootloader then you will have to disable the password before unlocking. I am currently on one by Rishabh Rao and is planning on updating today itself. Will inform you after updating.

the password is usually because the data partition is encrypted, you will need to wipe data, to gain access to the data partition to be able to use it in twrp...

Even I am getting the same error, but I am just not able to get rid of it. I was on Lineage 13, then I restored nandroid backup from twrp. after that I started getting this enter password in twrp.
I tried 'fastboot format userdata' and it did nothing, then I factory reset my device from settings, but it is still asking for password.
Then I flashed stock recovery by Rishab, but I got only chinese characters in recovery and could not flash stock rom downloaded from LeEco site.
Please help!
