Mojave Breaks FileVault 2 Keys on Upgrade?

[zinkotheclown]

One of my admins decided to upgrade his MacBook Pro to Mojave and he is now locked out of his Mac due to his personal and recovery FV keys being denied. The institutional key does not help either.

I don't know if this is an isolated issue but I would strongly consider making backups before upgrading to Mojave if you have FileVault enabled in your environment.

@zinkotheclown Hi, How did your colleague upgrade to Mojave? and what kind of MacBook Pro does he have ?

[zinkotheclown]

He ran the installer dl'ed from the app store. He has a 2016 13-inch MBP Retina with TouchBar.

He failed to mention that he was low on disk space. That may have been a factor.

Same problem here. Had to restore backup. 15” MBP touchbar.

I came over this thread over google search to find solutions to this problem - I have exaxtly the same situation and same specs.
