i haven't enabled firevault ever, and i don't even remember setting a 'master password' for this, but it is set. is there any way i could reset this password?
 
From Apple.com/support
I forgot the password to my encrypted home folder

If you forget your login password and your home folder is protected by FileVault, you must know the master password to get access to your account. If you don't know the master password, ask your computer's administrator to help you.

If you are the administrator of the computer, and you can't remember the master password, the information in your home folder is lost forever.
