HFS+ quantity (identified laptop admin/disk/FileVault passwords) re-formatted beneath new APFS quantity identify/unknown password vs. partioned (no HFS detected in restoration instruments). Could not unlock quantity to begin laptop setup/migration course of (no restoration key) nor reproduce visually buggy key inputs displaying throughout encrypted APFS "partition addition," solely reveals password dot inputs.
Unique information quantity identify readable in information restoration device, stating APFS in/grouped to locked system quantity. Not one of the instructions/software program seem to perform w/out unlocking quantity to mount/learn. Goal Disk Mode cannot learn locked volumes, right?
Remaining 3 untested options might use skilled eyes or different artistic options, please (keen to pay):
-
Posts 1 / 2 recommend there is a strategy to delete setup/promote admin consumer w/ right instructions (inadvertently deleted Config.plist, partition map, and a few fs0:/efi/oc/recordsdata and all fs0:/System recordsdata in boot efi)?
-
One OS can reset password for any HFS quantity, however no clear methodology to convert APFS to HFS w/out erasing information (Paragon’s converter depreciated since ’20 errors w/ zero code/msg). This OS Disk Utility seems to have a convert to learn/write disk picture choice, but additionally errors (falsely claims no area).

Whereas I’ve all non-encrypted system volumes (Preboot, Replace, Restoration, VM, replace set up logs, allegedly "AdminUserRecoveryInfo.plist" and so on.), entry to three Macs throughout {hardware} parts/all OS’es, unclear if restoring EFI metadata recordsdata and so on. into mountable/seen, non-OS/non-data quantity folders would allow reinstalling OS/reformatting that quantity to HFS…have to be one positive manner that’ll stop information loss?
