Put it on the device it was originally encrypted on and select the locked key or an option menu then remove encryption or decrypt. I am not sure how you're interface looks on your device. You can search the internet for step-by-step guide with device specific information.

Just because it used to work, does not mean it works now.  Cards, hard drives, flash drives all are subject to failure.  If you formatted the card on a newer device, it may be in the wrong format for your model phone.  Newer devices use a different file system, which may make cards formatted on those devices incompatible with older devices.

However, that being said, if it is working on other devices, perhaps autoblocker got turned on.  Go to Settings/security and privacy and check to see if auto blocker is on or off.  Make sure it is off, or you won't be able to see or transfer data via the USB port.

Do you have maximum protection turned on in security settings?

There is a password that was set when you encrypted it in the first place. Could be your lockscreen code. You can search online for decryption software.
