Where can I find the encrypted APFS password info? (I'm not convinced I have one, but it may have switched on by default?) I am a devil for recording passwords so if I was aware this existed, I absolutely would have made a note of it.Is there any point in creating another Bootable Installer, this time as APFS, rather than Extended Volume?.A search of the iBoysoft FAQs fails to offer an answer to this query. I'm not sure if this will be complicated because I am also using Target Disk Mode, rather than running iBoysoft directly on the affected MBP, because I can't.Apparently, I can run iBoysoft Data Recovery in macOS Recovery mode.If it is, I have absolutely no idea what the encrypted partition password is, nor where I'd find such information. Wondering if this is a FireVault thing? I'm not sure if it's switched on, on the MBP or not.

It's a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, plenty of free disk space - 1.76TB. It's moving slowly, but it's definitely moving.
2018 MBP Will not boot using Internet Recovery, nor any other type of Recovery thus far.I've numbered each point – as there are a lot – in the hope it makes it easier to reply or ask me for further info.
