For various reasons I need to remotely access my Mac and on occasion reboot it.
The problem I am encountering is that when I reboot my Mac asks for my password, when it's at this point I can't remote access in. I presume this is the FileVault2 password.
I came across this: http://osxdaily.com/2015/03/06/bypass-filevault-password-per-boot-mac-os-x/
So I thought I would make an Automator script I could put on my desktop to automate the sudo fdesetup authrestart command. When I do that I get:- The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error: “sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified”
What's the easiest way to fix this whilst still remaining security conscious (avoiding my password in plain text for example)? I would also like something that can continue to work through macOS upgrades, it won't be broken or overwritten.
