Hi,

Does anyone know if this should be pushed to the side or not, iv selected the option for security without thinking of remote reboots. When it comes back up I have to enter a password.

Whats the best way to deal with this so I have no stress rebooting remotely

Not sure if I understand what you're talking about.

Have you encrypted the disk? That will ask you for a passphrase on boot. If that's the case I think you need to use cryptsetup to remove the encryption. Ensure you backup first ;)

What exactly do I need to back up and what shall I use to back up? is there an easier way of removing the encryption?
