Since you can boot into Recovery Mode, I would try reinstalling macOS.

Please provide some information, since none of us is looking at your mac. Be precise, as much as possible. For example I don’t think “disk secure” is a thing. Tell exactly what shows in your screen so we can understand what is going on. Did you mean “File Vault”? Again, tell us exactly what you see. Also: what is your mac, what version of macOS? Has anything changed right before this happened, like a system update, and which one?

Macbook 16, Mac OS Ventura, the most non-buggy version ever! I get this message (in message says, that i need type password to turn off disk secure), type password, mac reboot and i get this message again. I just shutdown macbook (i’m sorry, never will do this again, this was my mistake). I dont know that shutdown feature was deprecated from new version.

Ok, I now see why the expression "disk secure" - it was being lost in translation.


What this indicates to me is that you have File Vault activated.

You need to use the proper password set for it.

Maybe you have more than one account in this mac. Try the password for whichever account was used to turn on File Vault. Presumably this will be of a user account with admin privileges. So if you use a standard account and have a separate admin account, you need to use the password for that admin account to unlock File Vault.
