I recently bought a new MacBook Pro. It says that FileVault is turned on and that I will need a login password or a recovery key to access my data. I know my login password, so using the MacBook is no problem, but just in case I should ever need it, how do I find out what my recovery key is? Thank you.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Thanks Dominic.
I should perhaps have said that I did phone Apple support before posting this. They recommended switching FileVault off, and then switching it back on again and encrypting with a new recovery key. I was just wondering whether there was a way of avoiding going through that rather lengthy process... But no prob.
What is my FileVault recovery key?
