I accidentally turned on filevault and it encrypted ALL of my computer data. I turned on my computer and noticed everything was gone. I have no idea how to undo this! Any help would be appreciated.

Not a Mac user, but one site I just found says you need to login to a new account and you can try to repair it all from there.
Here is the site hope it helps : http://forums.macosxhints.com/archiv...p/t-32239.html
Good luck.

Thanks Arcy for looking it up. I looked all over and couldn't find a thing. It says some how it can be restored through Disk Utility but I have absolutely no idea on how to do restore the data.
stay away from filevault.
