Learned something new today. Enabling whole-disk encryption via FileVault on OS X each user needs to be given specific permission to get into the machine when initially starting up a machine.

TIPS & TRICKS: Trusting A Computer from iOS 7
Apple introduced concept of Trusted Computers in iOS 7. The idea is that if a iOS device (i.e. iPhone) is plugged into a computer for charging purposes only, the data on the iOS device can be kept safe from the computer while still allowing charging of the device.

- Double-click the Apple folder.
- Double-click the Lockdown folder
- Find the appropriate token (I based it on date, if there are multiple tokens) and choose Delete. Admin credentials may need to be provided if the currently logged in user is a non-admin.
