Why I'm asked for private key when I try to open the submission?

    Hello! I created a new form today and I cannot access the submissions because I am asked to upload a private key. I have never seen this before and I don't know what my private key is. Please help!

    I checked your form and it is encrypted:

    Unfortunately, when the forms are encrypted we cannot do much since the submissions are useless without the private key.

    You most probably enabled that feature, since the form is not encrypted by default.

    Thank you!
