[QUOTE="Medoc, post: 1298647, member: 215485"] FIXED! Thanks for the link harryb2448. I managed to find the same article and it helped. I used the Leopard disc to enable the root user and realized that I had changed my account name so it no longer matched my home folder, which I'm guessing is why FileVault wouldn't let me log in. I restored the original name and then deleted the master password key and created a new one. Problem solved. So it turns out that a Leopard DVD can be used to fix a Snow Leopard installation. I guess the two are similar enough in that regard. Thanks everyone. [/QUOTE]
