Do you have a recent backup of your Home Folder?
Nope. :-( (Shame on me...)
I do not use FileVault for fear of a universal problem. Data is encrypted in one big block. The data files are not individually encrypted. The only safety mechanism I know of from reading David Pogue's The Missing Manual is to have at least two accounts on the Mac. The Administrator's account and a User's account. In the user's account, one can run FileVault, with the password precaution that you mention. The Administrator can access the user's data by using a special "Master" password. If you set up your Mac this way, try using the Administrator's Master password from the Administrator's account. If not, or if the Master PW does not work, I know of no solution.
I have several accounts, no prob at this level. My concern is not password related: my Mac boots fine but refuses to mount the image that appears as damaged. I do not even have a chance to supply my password (or admin pass) because the mount process does not reach that step.
That's why I am looking for a recover prog that's compatible with Tiger. Thank you for your kind feedback.
