Q: Mountain Lion only boots into Recovery mode after using iCould lock

Hi everyone!

 

I have searched the forums for hours now, but I can't seen to find an answer to my question, so I'd like to ask it.

 

 

Recently my system partition failed due to frequent kernel panics caused by a cable in the screen I think. The kernel panics still occur, but I don't know what to do with them.

 

I managed to save my files and reinstall my osx, which is Snow Leopard (the disc came with the computer). Then I wanted to install my purchased copy of Lion through Appstore, but it said it's no longer available in my country and I couldn't download it again.

 

Then I decided to buy a copy of Mountain Lion which I tried to install. I managed to do it, and I tried to explore my new operation system.

I tried the iCloud app as well, including the Lock. It locked the computer, and rebooted, but ever since I couldn't unlock it.

When it asks for the password I enter it and it accepts it, but doesn't unlock, only lets me into Recovery mode. Now I reinstalled the whole thing over again and when the Mountain Lion install finishes, it only boots into the Recovery HD without asking.

 

So if I reboot my computer, no matter what I do it only boots into Recovery Mode.

 

Please help!!

 

Mike

    Im actually running into the exact same issue as you (without the kernal panics though).. I cant seem to boot the mac pro. i get the same password box and it then boots into recovery mode.

    Ive tried reinstall, wiping the drive, a different drive, remove graphics and usb devices 1 by 1...

    Its taking the correct password, because if i try an incorrect one it doesnt do anything. the correct one boots into recovery then.

     

    Did you get this resolved? if so, How? (did you just end up taking it to the apple store?)
