What is a master password and it is the same thing as admin password?
Or is master password different from admin?
When the FileVault asks for a password to unlock the hard drive,
what password is FileVault requesting?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
The master password can be the same or a different one than your administrator account. If you haven't set up a master password, it's your administrator account.
By default, FileVault asks for your administrator password on Lion and Mountain Lion. However, if you have forgotten it, you have to use a password that Apple provided you when you set up FileVault

When do I need a master password and how can I set it up on my laptop?
I'm a single user with single admin account and my computer runs on lion.
