Reply to 10.13b2 on an encrypted APFS boot partition?
Hi there! To decrypt your drive - USE your RECOVERY partition to start decrypting process. 0) BOOT INTO RECOVERY PARTITION (cmd+R when booting) or load into clean system from external drive: 1) open terminal from recovery utilities  2) FOR APFS DRIVE type: /usr/libexec/apfsd OR TRY THAT! sudo /usr/libexec/apfsd  FOR HFS DRIVE: /usr/libexec/corestoraged OR TRY THAT! sudo /usr/libexec/corestoraged 3) TO RESUME/START decrypt/encrypt SERVICE of your drive: OPEN NEW terminal's window. 4) TYPE:  diskutil apfs list see your main drive disk0s0 (for example) and write its UUID 5) TYPE:  diskutil apfs listcryptousers /dev/disk0s0 see your username 6) TYPE:  diskutil apfs decryptVolume /dev/disk0s0 -user uuid_goes_here -passphrase 1234567890 Remember!  "1234567890" - is your password of user "uuid_goes_here" - UUID of your drive "disk0s0" - your drive partition 7) Check your decrypting status: diskutil apfs list P.S. Decryption will be very long. Even if it's an SSD. Most importantly, check that the decryption percentages are slowly but increasing. Good luck!
