It is supposed to be automatic, however I have encountered this during the Yosemite upgrade. I'll explain how I fixed it.
For the sake of discussion, I'll use AUserName
AUserName to refer to the user whose password is out of synchsync.
Generally speaking it's quite simple. Remove AUserName
AUserName from the list of users that can unlock this disk, then add them back.
IMPORTANT, if you do not have multiple users who can unlock the disk, add one now, or have the recovery key handy.
Here's what you do:
Click the Finder icon in the Dock
Click Applications
Double click Utilities
Double click Terminal
In the terminal window, type the following:
sudo fdesetup remove -user AUserName
Click the Finder icon in the Dock
Click Applications
Double click Utilities
Double click Terminal
In the terminal window, type the following:
sudo fdesetup remove -user
AUserName
You'llYou'll be prompted to enter your password.
This removes AUserName
AUserName from the list of unlock users. Next,
Click the Preferences icon in the Dock
Click the Security icon in preferences
Click the FileVault tab
There should be a warning message that "Some users are not able to unlock the disk
"
Click the "Lock" icon at the bottom of the window and supply administrator credentials.
Click the Enable Users button
Click the Enable User next to AUserName
Click Done
EDIT:
Fix typo, the command should be fdesetup
not fdsetup
