[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1926462, member: 396914"] Only on the Macs with T2 chips, or Mx systems. Macs prior to the T2 are not encrypted by default. And the directory is encrypted as well. The entire system is encrypted. But, the repair shop will still need to be able to boot the machine to be able to test it, so they will need some account for that. Guest will work. EDIT: FileVault will encrypt the entire drive, and require the password even to boot, so the shop will need that password as well. [/QUOTE]
