TestDisk The harddisk seems too small

hi, I've been having a problem with my hard drive for a few days that I can't decrypt it.

Testdisk gives me the following error:

Disk /dev/sda - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - CHS 121601 255 63                                                               
                                                                                                                   
The harddisk (1000 GB / 931 GiB) seems too small! (< 1256 GB / 1170 GiB)                                           
Check the harddisk size: HD jumper settings, BIOS detection...

I suspect that this is the reason why I get the error 'no key available with this passphrase' when I try to decrypt my luks partition.

can I fix this somehow? my luks headers are fine
