![]() The deceased owner apparently was duped by a mac pop-up that went something like this: "your apple is unsecure, click here to make it secure", and invariably the user is not able to see any number of scenarios where a proprietary lock-down is outrageous. Her sister's drive is intact and boots to the apple password screen just fine, but nobody knows the password in her family and the "hint" so far has not helped. The living sister was hoping that she would be able to simply look through folders and filenames as they were made by her sister, photorec does not do this and testdisk is a dead-end in that endeavor (as of 2021). The owner of the mac died and her sister is wanting to recover her dead sister's files and especially the genealogy tree and journal that she had made. However I'm told that amongst the hundreds of files recovered, that not all the files were recovered and so I'm attempting to do the recovery again. I can tell you this, so far I see only marginal success using a linux utility called "photorec" which is part of the "testdisk" utility. The apfs contrived by the capitalist entity apple has apparently set its users in an even smaller box than the cage they were in just a few years ago (pre-apfs).
