To disable, re-enable the tokens and updated the / with diskutil, run the following commands. Notice the - will tell the command to prompt for the passwords. Replacing it with the actual passwords may need some escape char (for example for &).

sysadminctl -secureTokenStatus <username>
sysadminctl -secureTokenOff <username> -password - -adminUser <adminusername> -adminPassword -
sysadminctl -secureTokenOn <username> -password - -adminUser <adminusername> -adminPassword -
