Forgot my passwords how can I Encrypte the acess to my files

I bought my MacBook Pro in Malasia KL last year

sence 2010 I am a world working traveler as an

Tecnical Adviser for Communication

just arrived in Brasil one month ago to do my masters not to work.


i am having many problems with my Apple equipment

i change to Apple because It's a wonderful worldwide company and

I thought that I never would have to format an apple MacBook Pro

and lose all my files.


PS: already call suporte line helps and with them I

already try internal commands

and the solution presented by the apple store care solution that they forward me

is to format my MacPro


can someone help me to encripetd my file vault and my disks

or to do a clone of my disk with out going out of the country.


Regards

SB

thank you very much for you response

actually for me is really embarassing to say that I forgot the password.

For apple should also be embarrassing to present this format option,

Because I don't remember that someone told me when I bought the equipment

that if I forget the passwords I will lose everything!!! Anybody should consider that many can happen and people can forget passwords that's why we use the technical support to help us with our flaws. Can you tell me where I can recover my disk to my last backup.

Thanks

If passwords could easily recovered, what the use of having the stuff encrypted?

The last backup is wherever you saved it.

and if you had encryption enabled, you will still need the password...
