Jul 5, 2013 10:19 PM in response to aarondvargasby Kappy,★HelpfulIf someone can access the computer and crack a FileVault Master Password, then they have full access to everything on the computer.
OS X does not have a "recovery mode" similar to an iPhone, but it is possible to restore OS X with or without first erasing the drive if one can subvert a FileVault proteted hard drive.

Jul 5, 2013 10:24 PM in response to Kappyby aarondvargas,ok thanks for quick reply, I know it would be almost impossible t get the Filevault recovery code, although I was just concerned about if someone tries to remove password through the very know process(after you reboot system holding the selected keys). Would that be possible and if it is and manage to remove that password to login, can they access info in harddrive?

Jul 5, 2013 10:28 PM in response to aarondvargasby Kappy,★HelpfulThere is no set of keystrokes to circumvent FileVault at startup. With Mountain Lion FileVault is used to encrypt an entire drive with an AES256 key. You cannot just press a few keys and bypass the entire security of FileVault. If that were possible FileVault would be useless.
