That was totally weird, I just opened the lid to my wife’s Mac after it’s been closed for about 24hours and all I had to do  was to enter the password without having to enter the user name this time. Then that could be normal.

Are you updating them both to catatonia?

Got it worked out now Simon, I don’t log into it that often and I mainly do it to do updates for her. We got our Mac’s at the same time and she got the 13inch without the Touch Bar.

    Hi,
    Sounds like it's an older Mac with File Vault enabled.  That's the
    way life is when you have File Vault enabled.

    Thanks, that worked. Although I only got the 3 tones after

    just have to remind my wife to hit command f5 before she logs in.

            Hi guys,
            Well that kind of worked but didn’t work. I got voiceover
            to start when I restarted my wife’s Mac, and all it said
            was Voiceover on, user name. It didn’t give me anywhere to
            enter the password to unlock the Mac, I even tried to tab
            around to find the password field and all it kept saying
            was voiceover on user name.  I tried turning voiceover off
            and entering her password but that isn’t work either. So
            now I’ll have to wait until she gets home as I can’t
            unlock it now.  I thought if I enabled voiceover to start
            on startup I’d be able  to unlock the Mac with voiceover on.
            Oh, Simon, my wife’s Mac hasn’t got the Touch Bar.

                quickly to bring up the accessibility list,
                Tab down to voiceover and hit space bar on it, then

                Then to start it from the command prompt go into

                Hi all,
                This is going to sound like a silly and basic
                question. How does one turn on Voiceover to run on the
                startup of the Mac? I have it set up on my Mac of
                corse and a friend helped me set it up so I never
                found out what she did. I’d like to get voiceover to
                start up automatically on my wife’s Mac when I restart
                it. But not sure where I’m supposed to look to do this?
                Thanks,
                Petrus
