Hey everybody,

I need your help more then ever! I filmed for two days and wanted to start editing the footage tonight because the deadline for the project is tomorrow all ready. But I couldn't login. I filled in the username and password and then this appeared:

your with Filevault secured homemap coudln't be opened and has to be restored. Press ok to restore the map and go on with the login. Click on decline to login as a different user.

If I click ok it says: You cannot login into the useraccount 'neeskens' A error occured which makes the login into the account fail.

Who knows what is going on here? Or even better what can I do about it, because I am going crazy here. I just got the new Mac Pro 8 core, 2.66 ghz for 1,5 weeks and brought my MacBook pro to The Macstore to be repaired. Hope someone knows what to do?

Flipping Niels

How can I make a new account without having to login first. Because then I would be able to edit with the new account right?
 
I would try Smir's instructions from apple support, it's the 4th post from the bottom. I've never done this, I hope it works.

If you just got the system, it might be easier to just do a clean install of everything. Depends what you already have on the system.

Good luck.
 
Try inserting your install disk and holding down the "C" key when you start the machine. It will go to the OS on the disk and you can reset your passwords etc.
 
It seems that if you update to the latest version of OSX and have Filevault on, there is a huge bug which makes your computer fail to open your home folder. You are not able to login anymore. People without a back-up are totally screwed and if you are fortunate enough to have a back-up you lose time but not hours of your life. So beware!!!
