[QUOTE="chemist, post: 1660438, member: 84235"] I've got Bootcamp (BC) with Win 7. For some reason, Win 7 stopped recognizing my password. Some questions: Anyone have this issue? Should I just erase the BC partition and start from scratch? I wouldn't lose any data. Also, if I erase and start from scratch, is there any issue creating a new BC partition on a FireVault encrypted drive? I don't recall if my drive was encrypted when I first installed BC, and I have read that partitioning an encrypted drive is problematic (but I'm not sure if this applies to BC). If there is an issue creating a new BC partition on an encrypted drive, then does the BC Assistant offer the option of just reinstalling onto the existing BC partition? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
