Q: Can't unlock Partition

i am currently trying to get FileVault off of the "Estimated Time Remaining" screen.  I am trying to follow instructions to fix this issue, but I can't find the "File and Unlock button for the partition that is encrypted?

 

could anyone help? I'd be happy to take photos with My phone if anybody needs it.

 

thank you!!!

    I Went ahead and ran the command "diskutil cs list" and it says my encryption status is unlocked so I'm guessing that's why I can't find the unlock button in recovery mode.  It's using 50% of my GPU In the activity monitor.  Is there a command to force FileVault to stop?  I tried "sudofsetup disable" but the computer doesn't recognize it. 

     

    Anyways, I did the other steps past unlocking the disk, and it doesn't change it.  It doesn'tt reset it, it doesn't move it along, it still says "Estimating Time Remaining."
