[QUOTE="yellowred, post: 1603162, member: 332525"] I have a recent Macbook Air that has file vault 2 installed. I reset my password this morning, but cannot remember it at all this afternoon. I have all my files backedup so I am not worried about data loss. So I went to do a reinstall from the recovery partition and its asking me for my password... which is the password I do not know. I also do not remember putting the recovery key down anywhere (stupid I know). How can I just reinstall Mavericks on the system now? [/QUOTE]
