Once this command is run, you’ll need to enter your institution’s Master Password when prompted. Security unlock-keychain /path/to/FileVaultMaster.keychain With the UUID information acquired, run the following command to unlock the FileVaultMaster.keychain: Get the Logical Volume UUID of the encrypted drive by running diskutil corestorage list.Ĥ. Boot to the Recovery HD partition or the Recovery HD partition cloned onto an external drive.ģ. Copy your FileVaultMaster recovery keychain from the safe place your institution stored it in to a drive that you can access from Recovery HD.Ģ. Here’s how you can unlock the encryption using an institutional recovery key with FileVaultMaster.keychain:ġ. Using FileVaultMaster.keychain on the command lineĪt this time, it’s only possible to unlock or decrypt from the command line if you’re using a institutional recovery key that’s been set with FileVaultMaster.keychain. Once you’ve unlocked the drive, you should also be able to unencrypt it using this command: diskutil corestorage revert UUID -passphrase recoverykey To unlock: diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -passphrase recoverykey The commands are mostly the same, but instead of using the -stdinpassphrase flag, you instead use -passphrase and enter the recovery key. If you don’t have the password of any of the authorized accounts and you are not using an institutional recovery key with FileVaultMaster.keychain, you can use the FileVault 2-generated individual recovery key instead. Using the FileVault 2-generated individual recovery key on the command line In Disk Utility, it should appear as a normal hard drive. Once the drive has been completely decrypted, it will no longer be listed as a CoreStorage volume by diskutil corestorage list. To help identify the decryption status, I’ve highlighted the relevant sections to check in the list. To track its progress, you can use the diskutil corestorage list command. Once provided, decryption of the encrypted volume will begin. You’ll be prompted for the password/passphrase of an account that’s authorized to unlock the encryption. To decrypt: diskutil corestorage revert UUID -stdinpassphrase Once you’ve unlocked the disk, you can then revert it back from being an encrypted volume. You should see output similar to that shown below. If successful, the drive will unlock and mount. The -stdinpassphrase flag will cause the command to prompt you for the password/passphrase of an account that’s authorized to unlock the encryption. To unlock: diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -stdinpassphrase Using the password of an authorized account on the command line Once you have the UUID, you can then either unlock or unencrypt the encrypted volume using the following commands. To help identify what you’re looking for, I’ve highlighted the UUID of the encrypted drive in this example:

Running that command will give you a listing of all Core Storage volumes. To start with, you will need to identify the Logical Volume UUID of the encrypted drive using the diskutil corestorage list command: See this post for a description of the problem and available workarounds.

Update – June 11, 2013: As of Mac OS X 10.8.4, you will need to unlock the encrypted volume first, then you will be able to decrypt it. In order to make sure it all works, I recommend that you use the Recovery HD partition or the Recovery HD partition cloned onto an external drive. In addition to using Disk Utility, you can also use the command line to unlock or decrypt a FileVault 2-encrypted drive.
