Yesterday our iMac crashed for no apparent reason. It attempted to reboot automatically but failed with a sign that looks like a circle with a diagonal bar crossing it.
I managed to reboot and login, and launch a TM backup on an external HD, and I went to sleep while the backup was running. I woke up this morning and the machine was down again. Eventually, I booted from a USB key and checked the HD, not diagnosed problem. But when I try to book, I get to the place where a grey screen displays the various accounts but if I try to login, I get a black on grey bar that eventually stops progressing. I tried with all the accounts I knew and got the same result. The HD is encrypted (Filevault) and not anymore covered by Applecare. And I can't remember the encryption password (may be written in a secure note, *on* the disk...) I hooked up the external HD to this MBP and could find a backup for last night but I'm not sure it is complete or not corrupted. What should be the next steps ?
