[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1649825, member: 204485"] Dear Pettycash, the answer to your question is, no you can't and indeed shouldn't stop the encryption process. There have been a number of recent threads on this forum about accidental or unintended encryption of the HD by File Vault. The amount of time it takes to encrypt is roughly equal to the time in takes to unencrypt which may be as much as 6 hrs or more depending on storage. If it has already taken longer than that it may have encountered a problem. Check this article; [url=http://www.macissues.com/2014/12/16/fix-your-mac-stuck-on-encrypting-with-filevault/]Fix your Mac stuck on encrypting with FileVault | MacIssues[/url] However if you get to the bit where it says, "Click the Unlock button, and then supply your FileVault password to unlock the drive." and you don't know what they are talking about then get back to this forum with the details of your MBP, Operating System, storage capacity etc. and we will try to help.
