Grub Rescue cryptouuid not found

Got a laptop here which I previously LVM encrypted. A member of the family needs a laptop so giving them this. 
 

having I can’t remember the crypto password so I thought formatting the disk would work but it just goes in to grub rescue.

 

any idea how to bypass this? I don’t care for any data.

It won’t boot to an installer when even if choosing boot from USB in bios. Keeps going to this screen. 
 

I'm currently in the process of writing over each sector on the disk which is going to take about 2 hours.
