Go to System preferences and enable FileVault. Now back in normal mode, terminal confirmed for command from step 1 that "Secure token is ENABLED". For me changing all passwords resulted in TouchID becoming disabled, but I could re-enable without issues. In Recovery mode start Terminal window (menu Utilities -> Terminal)Įxecute command resetFileVaultpassword to change the passwords for all users. If for all users step 1 returned "Secure token is DISABLED for user", boot into Recovery mode (reboot and hold command-R) It returned for all accounts "Secure token is DISABLED for user". Tested for all user accounts on the computer in terminal the command sudo sysadminctl -secureTokenStatus USER_NAME_HERE. Process was partly derived from below mentioned reddit and.

Error: A problem occurred while trying to enable FileVault. Going into terminal, I've tried running sudo fdesetup enable, which returns the following message. No error message, it just doesn't respond. If I try the standard method of going into settings -> security & privacy, then clicking "enable FileVault", nothing happens. However, I'm encountering some problems attempting to enable FileVault 2 disk encryption. As I'm the only one using it, it only has one user account, which does have admin privileges. I've just got a new MacBook Pro, currently running macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra.
