[QUOTE="beskeptical, post: 1644044, member: 339780"] File Vault is utterly defective. It suddenly wouldn't accept my password, prompted me to restart in recovery mode as the only option, upon which I entered my password (which it accepted, proving I knew it just fine), then DECRYPTED MY ENTIRE HARD DRIVE WITHOUT PERMISSION OR ANY ABILITY TO STOP THE PROCESS. (For those who may think caps lock was stuck: I tried the PW repeatedly toggling the caps lock button, which -- as a result of another Apple glitch -- does not light up on the keyboard when logged out and using File Vault, so you can't tell whether it's engaged or not.
