Are you completely sure that you wrote that password down correctly and
that you are reading it correctly? Can you distinguish l and 1, O and 0
etc? Is there any invisible whitespace? Did you intentionally leave
something out because you feared somebody could find that piece of
paper?

Please use your current fear as impetus for setting up a proper backup
solution. Hardware dies, software is buggy, humans make mistakes,
catastrophes happen.
