If I had a choice for unencrypting, I never found it. My computer was asleep when the battery went down, or at least it didn't have enough power when I opened it back up again. I consider myself fairly computer literate, but I guess at some point I did the wrong thing somewhere and got myself into trouble. I only have my Mac keyboard, so that didn't seem to be my trouble. I just knew my computer had erased itself, thinking some crook had got hold of it. At least for now, I think FileVault is too much security for me because my computer will secure itself against me.
