By changing the FV2 password I meant changing the account password of an FV2
permitted user, which also changes that user's FV password.

I made the above mistake once but fortunately had a second FV2 permitted user
and so was able to startup using *that* userID, then logout, login with the
other userID using its new password and finally changer the user password to
match that on the original drive.
