    Hi Siswanto,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    In this UI you will need to enter the login password for the actively logged-in user. 

    Power-on Authentication is not applicable to MacOS, instead, you unlock the disk when you log in with the user password.

    As that's the current user's password you're logged in with - it's not a "new" password. In order to decrypt you'll need the current admin logged in user's password. This could be this current Admin user or another. You will need to remove the Sophos SafeGuard client first though as the policy being applied will turn on FileVault2 again! The uninstall is the same as any you'd run on a Mac but there is an uninstaller for it (/Library/Sophos SafeGuard DE/Sophos SafeGuard DE Uninstaller.pkg) (DE being Disk Encryption - not DE as in Germany!
