Dear All,
I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro. Quite a few months back the password stopped working. I can't boot it up in Recovery Mode or Single User Mode. When asked to reset the password using my Apple ID, there is an 'error connecting to the Apple store,' even when I have internet connection. From the Reset Password screen I click on the Apple icon - to Startup Disk - and then find my hard drive is encrypted. I have a bootable version of El Capitan - but when I boot up the machine whilst holding the option key it asks me to reset my password again. The same happens when I attempt Internet Recovery.
I have asked a friend to look at it and he thinks that the hard drive may be corrupted?
Thanks
Mike
