That's normal.

If the partly unsuccessful installation did successfully apply 
encryption, then the loader (on a USB memory stick or wherever) will 
detect the encryption.

The prompt for a password is proper.

If you think of the partition as locked: the loader can not tell whether 
what's in the partition is good or bad.
