OK, picture this;

Don't make me go into the detail but I have been forced a few times to do a hard reset from the login stage on my Mini because of a display glitch.

If I do this, the next time it powers up, it doesn't take me to the login screen. Instead it takes me (eventually) to a password reset screen - like I only get three options and none of them is a basic restart.

So in order to get 'back' to the login screen I have to reset my password.

If I try and go back a step it just sits there doing nothing.

FYI I am using filevault.

Is there a way to do a hard restart
