Have you ever gone through the process?

It didnt make me feel safer or secure. Only inconvenienced for two weeks.

Yes, I actually have with a client I helped who tried to put in a complex passcode and promptly forgot exactly what he entered. It took about two hours with an up scaling of tech support at Apple on 1-800-MY-APPLE. We got connected with the Fairy Godmother Department who used his AppleID to unlock it. . . But he had activated that feature. It then took some time for the encryption to be redone using the new passcode.
