I Went ahead and ran the command "diskutil cs list" and it says my encryption status is unlocked so I'm guessing that's why I can't find the unlock button in recovery mode. It's using 50% of my GPU In the activity monitor. Is there a command to force FileVault to stop? I tried "sudofsetup disable" but the computer doesn't recognize it.


Anyways, I did the other steps past unlocking the disk, and it doesn't change it. It doesn'tt reset it, it doesn't move it along, it still says "Estimating Time Remaining."
