It sounds like FileVault is enabled. You should have a short name and then
after you type it, press enter. Then, it should ask you for your password,
which is your account password. Type that and press enter.
At least, this is what it sounds like, but without having details, I’m
guessing here.

When you say, reset, what did you do? Does the voice come up
automatically.

Hi Listers
I have reset my MacBook Air and the generic voice comes up asking for
my user name. I have tried putting it in but it doesn't seem to work.
What should I try from here?
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers
Jenny
