Mar 2, 2016 8:37 AM in response to YankeeDudecomby YankeeDudecom,Since I had NOT forgotten my password, I chose the third alternative "My keyboard isn't working when typing my password to log in". Then I asked to type in my password to disable FileVault. My password was accepted and I could log in.
Now it seems as FileVault has started decrypting my SSD. Why? I don't need to decrypt.
What do to?

What were you trying to do via Target Disk Mode? Apparently something altered the FileVault state, which triggered all the protection mechanisms. And since you told the system that there might be a hardware issue that can cause access problems in the future, it defaulted to making sure the contents were not lost due to insurmountable encryption. For now, let it finish unless you want to risk losing all the contents. Then you'll be able to reencrypt.

Click on Show Details for the minutae. If nothing turns up amiss, you're good to go and can redo the vault.
