Oct 2, 2018 at 21:06 comment added Andrew This definitely can be made to work (at least on 10.13.6). Remove the .AppleSetupDone file reboot and then create a new account (which will have the token). Reboot and log in as that user. You should then be able to enable the old accounts in 'Security and Privacy -> FileVault'. Reboot. The old accounts didn't come up for me immediately, so I'm not sure which of the following triggered it. Maybe logging in as the old account or maybe running 'fdesetup add --usertoadd <acct>' etc afterwards. But it did work. You should then be able to delete the new account.
