Don't be too quick to format your machine, there would just be a way to get access your data, that you haven't thought about.If you ever do, it's basically GAME OVER. The easiest way, and probably the fastest, is running Kali Linux (this actually works the same way with most distributions) is to run it from a USB drive without installing it to your internal hard drive.
Never forget your encryption password, EVER. Making a Kali Linux Bootable USB Drive on your Mac Many people want to run a new version of Linux without the need for a new computer.You can never know when it can come in handy Keep within reach a live USB flash drive running Linux.It's basically the first unwritten rule of computing. Always keep an updated backup of your data.I then backed up all the necessary data on my external hard drive and formatted the laptop with an up to date Linux distro, and copied the required data back to the laptop.

Now I had full access to the encrypted hard drive partition 😊. Click OK, sit back and let unetbootin do its thing. Below is a screenshot of unetbootin on my setup, running on a windows laptop. It needs to be at least 4GB formatted with a FAT partition. The first step in getting Kali installed is to prep your USB thumb drive. Kali’s website has documentation on this process here. After downloading unetbootin, execute it and select the Disk Image option, the ISO you downloaded and confirm that you have selected the correct flash drive. Rather than run a separate laptop for these applications, I’ve decided to partition my Mac’s hard drive and dual boot OSX and Kali Linux. To create a bootable Kali Linux USB drive, simply download the Kali Linux ISO file of your choice and unetbootin for your respective distribution from the links above.
I highly recommend using it to create Live USB drives. I prefer unetbootin as it's very reliable and someone rarely has any issues with the Linux OS refusing to boot up from the USB drive. In order to make the flash disk bootable, I used unetbootin, which can be downloaded here.
I decided to use Kali Linux as the distribution of choice. Some wishful thinking but still no luck.Īt this point, I figured, maybe I could try boot up using a Live USB running Linux, and try mount the hard drive again from the live USB.

At one point, I was even trying the old password, just in case the upgrade had not altered it yet. I honestly tried the password so many times, at one point I even thought maybe the keyboard local settings might have even changed. I enter the new password that my sister set up and it constantly failed. Now this is where things get interesting.
