I’ve tried this multiple times with no luck. One reason seems to be that I can’t tell if it’s powered on or not, then on top of that, there appears to be a guest account that the person setting it up forgot to delete, and I haven’t figoured out even with sighted assistance how to get around it,

Hi, To add to this, the finger print sensor is not active until the main MacOS is up and running. That is, you will need to enter your username, then press return, enter your password, then press return. It will take a little longer to get to the Finder than it normally would when File Vault

In addition, with FileVault turned on, it won’t really be VO, just spoken prompts. Sorry I misspoke. Aleeha > On Nov 5, 2018, at 12:46 PM, Jessica Moss wrote: > > I’ve just acquired what I didn’t know was a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar, > that DBS purchased me, only that they’d purchased me a
