Unfortunately, there is no way to decrypt the stored submission data without the correct private key.

To learn more about form encryption, please read the following article:

Encrypted Forms and How to Use Them

Let us know if you have further questions.

Sorry I have the key but it only opens as a load ov text and numbers in word I don't understand how I unlock the key or the data

If you have the key, you can turn the Encryption on again.

When the popup for Creating the Encryption Key appears, choose I will use my existing keys.

After this, open your browser in Private Mode (Incognito). When you try to view the submissions of that form, a popup should appear asking you to upload you Private Key.

Upload your Private Key and you should be able to view your submission.
