  • 1.  Fix Mac System Behind WDE

    Posted Dec 30, 2011 11:47 AM

     

    I have a Mac Powerbook using WDE. There is a problem with the os requiring a reinstall. The standard apple solutions involve booting from a disc - which doesn't promt for the WDE password or booting the Mac attached to another computer as an external firewire drive - which also doesn't work of course. I can get into "single user mode" . Is there a way to decrypt from there so I can reinstall the os?

    Thanks for any help

    You will need to decrypt disk before making any changes to OS

    as a last resort workaround:

    take a fresh disk, install os x and pgp,
    mount your broken system, migrate data from broken to working system,
    use asr or disk utility from 10.6 to copy stuff from working back to broken system.
