I use filecrypt and used this command to destroy the key from RAM when sleeping: "sudo pmset -a destroyfvkeyonstandby 1 hibernatemode 25". It has caused some unexpected side effects and I would like to undo this command. Can anyone tell me what to put in to reset this?

Welcome to Mac-Forums..

Looking at the PMSET manual and you'll see that you have an option of 0 or 1 for destoryfvkeyonstandby and 0, 3, 25 for hibernatemode.

What side effects are you having?

What unexpected side effects are you referring to ?
It would also be great if you could tell us the version of the OS you are using.
Do you have a backup of your data in case the command can not be undone ?

thanks

thanks for the replies. After doing this it puts the computer into hibernate mode so I have to input my password twice. When it wakes up it usually will not connect to my internet properly and I have to reboot it for it to be able to connect. It's possible this is related to my proxy program (PIA) but I did not have this issue before.

Yes I keep a time machine backup and I am using mavericks

So I could just put in this?:
sudo pmset -a destroyfvkeyonstandby 0 hibernatemode 25

or maybe:

sudo pmset -a destroyfvkeyonstandby 0 hibernatemode 0

what would be the default?

On my rMBP with no modifications, hibernatemode is set to 3. You likely want destoryfvkeyonstandby to be 0..

So:

sudo pmset -a destroyfvkeyonstandby 0 hibernatemode 3
