Lots of similar problems out there on line but not quite the same?
I'm getting the "you are unable to log into the FileVault user account ***** at this time......" message when I try to open my main admin account.
The password's right, the account shows up in the list of accounts, but it doesn't show up in Finder under 'users' even the deleted ones! Also FileVault has not been activated.
Stupidly not backed up and now looking at losing 18 months of pictures and a load of music too.
I've tried an undelete with mackeeper but it's only finding library images and icons from other deleted accounts.
This seems to have happened after a recent update?
Also, installed Steam game platform for my kids on another account (the only one that seems to be still working properly!?)
Arranged a call with mac support and they said they'd never heard of this problem before - obviously don't read the mac forums much since 2006?
I need a genius to tell me what to do in very simple terms!
Cheers
