I just had this today...

It also got me really confused.

The popup clearly says:
-----
Please print or write it down and store it in a safe location. You can run the "ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase" command now to do this. Enter your user password at the "Passphrase" prompt.

So I did...
-----
$ ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase
Passphrase: [password]
Warning: Using default salt value (undefined in ~/.ecryptfsrc)
Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed [-5]
Info: Check the system log for more information from libecryptfs
-----

It should be clearly indicated the command to run is:
-----
ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase $HOME/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
