Cant enable Filevault (Says "Incorrect password")

[B.tim]

I have installed a fresh mac os Monterey on my new SSD everything works fine except FileVault, when i try to Turn on filevault it says "Incorrect password"

Note i have not enabled FileVault before.

Opencore version : 0.7.7 (Latest)
SSD: Samsung Evo plus 970
Motherboard: Gigabyte z390 Arous pro wifi

I tried all basic troubleshooting steps
1. Delete admin user and created new user
2. resetFilevaultPasword from recovery mode
3. sysadminctl -secureTokenStatus username (returns sysadminctl[965:22021] Secure token is ENABLED for user username)
4. sudo fdesetup enable (returns Error: A problem occurred while trying to enable FileVault. (-69550)

And here is my Terminal output

tim@iMac ~ % sudo fdesetup status
Password:
FileVault is Off.
tim@iMac ~ % sudo fdesetup enable
Enter the user name:tim
Enter the password for user 'tim':

Hi - The process may seem complicated but you need to go into the exact OC version you're running 'Utilities' Folder and open 'ocpasswordgen'.
Click on 'ocpasswordgen' and then follow the attached pics in the order they are in and then save the changes to your config.plist, hope you will be able to follow my feeble Pictionary layout. Good luck.

PS - When done don't forget to enable Security/Vault/Secure then save.

Thank you very much.

The handling seems simple.

I don't have time to test it now. But I will do it soon.

I will put a message to confirm that everything works when it is done.

Thank you very much for your help.
