[SOLVED] Change Boot Password Prompt (LUKS)

This is such a minor issue but mostly revolving around aesthetics.

I have a LUKS encrypted system which boots fine. Upon bootup after Grub I am presented either in text or plymouth with:

"Password required for <container>".

Is there any place that I can change this to a different prompt or blank all together?\

Edit 2 hours later:

/lib/initcpio/hooks/plymouth-encrypt  allows you to change it. Specifically:

plymouth ask-for-password --prompt="Password for ${cryptname} volume" --dont-pause-progress --number-of-tries=5 --command="/sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen --key-file=- ${cryptdev} ${cryptname} ${cryptargs} ${CSQUIET}"
