heads up, i fixed this problem already and am running my macbook without any issues now. i'm just curious to see if anyone knows what happened.

i have a 2016 macbook pro which i've been running opencore on for a long time. i usually don't encounter issues on it at all but i keep everything backed up anyways just in case. i keep filevault on because i take my mac outside and i want it to be secure as possible with opencore on it. i keep a firmware password on as well. anyways, around 2-3 weeks ago i turned on my computer as usual and everything was super slow loading up on macos. lo and behold, none of my passwords worked. i was pretty confused as to what the hell was going on and tried the passwords on all accounts, to no avail. i am confident they were the right passwords. i couldnt go to recovery because it isn't root patched, so i can't use wifi. it wouldn't recognize any decryptable accounts there either, making me sign in with apple id which i couldnt do without wifi. even internet recovery with a native OS wouldn't have fixed this as the drive was encrypted and couldn't be mounted or reset. thankfully, i had a windows partition which i was able to use flawlessly and erase the macos drives. i've got macos back up and running again on here, without a windows partition. is it safe to keep filevault on again? will this happen again if i turn it on?
