Hi to all,
I have the following problem that makes me going nuts. I have spent 3 days in trying to get this issue out of my way. Without success.
Now I have searched here for a thread but didn't find what I was looking for, for a Guide...
I am currently using macOS High Sierra (10.13.5) on a MacBook Pro (late 2013) with macOS Extended (Journaled, encrypted).
For security purpose I have activated FileVault with Disk Password to enter before boot up. This is for me the most secure option (please correct me if I am wrong).
Now I tried many times to install a new Version of Mojave on my cleaned up SSD. After it was installed I was asked for the Disk Password to unlock the drive. Followed by the usual setup (answering some questions) macOS Mojave was running well. I restarted MBP and I wasn't ask for the Disk Password to unlock the Drive. Instead the MBP booted up and asked me the account password. The same problem I have with macOS Catalina. After installing and setup of the macOS the MBP didn't ask me for the Disk Password anymore.
It seems that I don't have the knowledge to get it work to be asked for the Disk Password every time I boot up the MBP.
Is someone able to show me or direct me to an easy-to-understand guide? I know Mojave and Catalina working on APFS (instead of extended journaled, encrypted).
Is there a way to make it work?
Thank you guys for your help and great patience with me. I am not a tech guy
greetings
