Help PLEASE HELP ME! I need a decryption method for my external 64gb SD card files

I decided to try out the encryption to my galaxy S3 i9300 after the encryption I started having this bothersome issue with the password prompt, and I realized that I could not deactivate the password prompt because of a policy encryption. So I got tired of that, everyone I had to use my phone I had to put in the password.

So I decided to factory reset my galaxy S 3 and now I realize that I cannot reproduce my 64 gb external SD card.
I need I really need my files back, especially the photos.

 I'm like faceing a wall with all of this encrypted files

No music photos videos reproduce probably because the files are encrypted.
The files won't even reproduce in my laptop.

What SOLUTION CAN I FIN FOR THIS BIG ISSUE
PLEASE HELP
Every problem has a solution and I'll find my solution right here.
 
There is no simple way around the encryption.

If there was, there wouldn't be any value at all in encryption in the first place.

Some folks might suggest apps that claim to decrypt passwords -- but they don't really do that; instead, they just make guesses. And, if you used a reasonably strong password (i.e., something really hard to guess), you're looking at YEARS of running such an app.
 
Since you already reset the phone, you will no longer be able to access any data on the SDCard that was encrypted. This is done on purpose to protect the data that was on the SD Card, otherwise that would defeat the purpose of encryption. I'm very sorry but your data is lost.

edit: This is from Motorola but it explains how the encryption works for the SD Card on an Android device. It also has a work around on how to backup the data, but you would have had to do it before the factory reset.

I just realized that the encrypted files can be easily decrypted by just UNCHEKING the selection boxes in encryption settings.
:banghead: and I realized that when it was too late because I factory reseted my S3 phone. :banghead:
What was annoying me was the password prompt each time I had to use my phone.
It was so simple, :banghead: ain't it frustrating.
All of this time it was just under my nose:mad:

Oh well time to move on, but good things came for me because of that encryption problem,
1. I registered on this website
2.started to flash roms
3. Now I can ask any android questions that I want :)
