It’ll be one that you have escrowed somewhere (Crypt Server, your MDM, MunkiReport, etc.). It won’t be the one you see in the screenshot. Go ahead and enter the recovery key when prompted. You’ll then be prompted to enter your recovery key. Then, click the arrow next to If you forgot your password, you can reset it using your Recovery Key. When you boot up the Mac and get to the FileVault prompt for the user, click the question mark button next to the password field.
The steps for both procedures are very similar and differ only at the very end. If you have a personal recovery key, this is how you can use it to unlock a FileVault-encrypted machine that’s been reboot (useful for organizations that doesn’t have their local admin accounts as FileVault-enabled ones) or how you can use it to reset a user’s forgotten password. In a previous blog post, I wrote about Why you should use FileVault personal recovery keys instead of institutional recovery keys.
