[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1648274, member: 204485"] Yes, it means that Apple's FV is 100% unbreakable. Good news for those who deliberately initiated it, received their Recovery key, wrote it and their FV password on a piece of paper and placed it in a safe easily accessible place. Or if they were lucky enough to decide to use their Apple ID as a password. The last person I asked who did that said yes I have it in my wall safe at home. Home being in Holland, she was in Bali at the time. It all worked out for my client because she could still boot her HD and was able to use her admin password to unlock FV, thus decrypt the HD successfully. Had she been unable to boot the Macintosh HD she would have been in trouble I think. The point of all this is my original argument; why should an inexperienced OP have to decide not to encrypt at upgrade when they may have no knowledge of the implications? [/QUOTE]
