Hi, Try entering the short name which is usually your username without spaces. This is normally created when you set up your computer. After entering the short name, press return then enter your password, then press return again. See if this works.

I keep time machine backups on an encrypted USB attached disk drive. I also do a SuperDuper backup to that disk from time to time. I am trying to boot my Mac from the latest SuperDuper backup which is listed as a possible start up disk in the start up disk preferences. After starting my Mac I wait about 2 minutes and then I start VoiceOver which says ‘User Name’ but with no edit field to enter that name. I tried entering the name of the external disk, or my Mac logon name, or the name of my Mac, or the password I used to encrypt the external disk but none of these work. Have any listers successfully booted High Sierra from a SuperDuper backup on an encrypted time machine disk and if so how did you do it? Many thanks for any Tips.
