How to recover an encrypted disk

If a user forgets the password for their encrypted disk, you can unlock the disk for them using the institutional recovery key that you created. See the following two Web articles for information:

• Apple Support: “OS X: How to create and deploy a recovery key for FileVault 2”.

  Note that you have already created the recovery key — you only need to read the information in the “Recovery” section.

• “Unlock or decrypt your FileVault 2-encrypted boot drive from the command line”
