[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1247188, member: 181804"] FileVault stores your data in an encrypted disk image inside your home folder. Browse to your home folder, and you should have a username.sparsebundle file. If you double-click it, you should be prompted to enter your password to mount the image. Once mounted, you should be able to copy contents to an external drive or some other media to transfer it over. Also, check out instructions at [url=http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/fixfilevault.html]Repairing a FileVault-protected Home folder[/url]. [/QUOTE]
