Unfortunately, Macbook with Apple Silicon chips use hardware encryption, and right now there's no way to decrypt or break it.

APFS Lock on Macbook Apple Silicon chips

by gameboybin » Wed Apr 01, 2026 11:44 am

I am having a huge issue with R-studio not being able to unlock or Decrypt APFS Partitions of Macbooks that have Apple Silicon chips
I have tried with several machines, Macbook Pro M1, Macbook Air M4... etc

So all data storages of Macbook Silicon Chips has golden lock on them. Which tells that the drives are encrypted.
However none of any ecnryptions are used on those drives
Upon decrypting them, there is no option for me to enter Password. It requires Crypto context File CCXT . Which are nowhere to be found

I am on latest version of R-studio for Mac T80+ 7.5.191716

Please find the solution and fix this issue ASAP.
Many thanks
