Imac mid-'11, Mavericks.
I have FireVault enabled. I also have a password before logon (boot up to screen, i guess it's called). Here's my question: If one loses the password to the screen, there are ways to retrieve it somewhat easily (Google the solution), so that being so easy, what's the point of FireVault? I mean once past the logon, you're in.
