FileVault

Anyway to get past a MacBook login screen on a drive that has FileVault turned on?

I've never tried.
Are you trying to gain access to the files?

If you can boot singleuser you can delete the applesetupdone and then reboot and create a new user.

I've never tried that on an encrypted disk

boot to single user mode (boot holding cmd-s)
at the prompt type:
rm /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone <return>
exit <return>

this should place you at the welcome (setup new user) screen

It will obviously not work when encryption has already been finished... :/

i have personally handled 76 apple computers this year alone, and not ONE of them has been encrypted (-;

that is a gray area in my area of knowledge

I have had a few encrypted , never seems to be a problem. I just erase the drive or SSD in disk utility.

We will be seeing more of this...i think default mode install after El Capitan is file-vault on.

Now i'm not trying to crack the encryption..that would not work !

Yeah possibly. I don't think in our line of work the goal is to preserve data, but to restore the mac to a usable and/or saleable condition.

Is filevault OS based or user based?

OS with option to store key in the cloud

FileVault... yes they can hide the files from reading. But not from deleting hehehehehe

Hello to all, as I understand from the read fifevault impossible to crack? I have a SSD but I need files when I load on Mac OS a password and drive is locked in the drive locked
