Locked out! Keyboard incompatible with FileVault on Macbook Pro. How to type in the password to disable FileVault?
I was logging in from my startup screen as usual when "Incorrect password" flashed across the screen.
I typed it in again which is when I realized that the keys on my keyboard were malfunctioning and inputting more than one character on pressing once.
As I was typing in a password, I couldn't see what characters it was inputting.
I pressed the on/off button to restart the system, which is the go-to fix for the layperson.
It switched on to a Password Reset screen.
I was asked why I can't type in the password on the login screen.
I was relieved to see the third option: "My keyboard isn't working when typing my password to log in."
The reason was stated as an incompatibility issue between the keyboard and FileVault.
However, I was requested to enter my password to disable FileVault on my mac, which was the suggested solution.
I am not able to do this. (Same problem as before.)
I tried connected a USB keyboard to type in the password but that didn't work.
I do not wish to reset my password. I know what it is.
I am locked out of my mac right now.
Catch-22, guys. Little help?
