I have a problem that doubt that anyone can fix but I'll give it a try anyways. I recently reset my phone forgetting that I need to decrypt my SD card before resetting and now I can't read my files. Does anyone have a solution to my problem or is it unfixable?

I'm afraid to tell you that if you don't have a quantum computer handy, you won't be decrypting this SD card anytime soon.
When you reset your phone, you also lost your decryption key. You won't be able to decrypt the card without it. Or you could brute-force it but this will take anywhere between years and eons.

Broken English. Would not trust.
Those things usually rely on weaknesses in encryption methods. Depending on the OS and device, this may or may not work at all. But if it works, that means encryption was useless.
