Actually this is a distinction worth clarifying, in Recovery Mode, Terminal does require mounting the data volume first, which typically prompts for an admin password. Safari bypassed this entirely, writing directly to protected system locations without any authentication. Furthermore, no GenAI was used in writing the article I come from an Egyptian Speaking background so my English may be a bit funky, sorry :)
- lapcat 6mo ago> in Recovery Mode, Terminal does require mounting the data volume first, which typically prompts for an admin password. This is not my experience. The Data volume mounts automatically, and there's no password prompt.
- AshamedCaptain 6mo agoI concur, that is the normal behavior without FDE. But besides, you can still use the Terminal of _any_ other bootable OS X disk, not just the recovery itself. With FDE, neither of this will work.
