hi, Further to John's note, usually, VO is not active, nor available, at the initial login screen when File Vault is enabled. You can press cmd-f5 to try to turn on VO, you should get a single tone, at this point, as John mentioned, just type your username and press return. If it accepts your username, two tones will sound meaning that it's ready for your password. In my case, once I start entering my password, a tone is sounded for each key-press. After you finish the password, press return and you should hear three tones if the password was accepted. Your Mac will then start up normally. You can then log off and on with the normal login screen most of the time, unless your machine is restarted or shutdown at which time you'll hear the good old tone once again.
HTH. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jun 9, 2017, at 13:22, John Panarese <jpanar...@gmail.com> wrote: FileVault should work just fine. The login window is different though. Be sure you press command-F5 to turn on VoiceOver. It will ask for your account name, which is whatever the name is for your home folder is called. Then, press enter and it will prompt you for your password. Type that and hit enter. Take Care John D.
