aphex6b Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 "Open Firmware security is not foolproofit is meant to be only a deterrent. It is possible to reset, change, and perhaps even recover the firmware password. The superuser can disable firmware security by using the nvram utility to change the value of security-mode to none. The password may also be reset via physical access to the inside of the computer" (The password may be reset by altering the memory configuration of the computer and then resetting the PRAM) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303433-how-to-remove-open-firmware-password/#findComment-2096004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedric Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have not tried but read somewhere try holding the PRAM reset keys(CMD-ALT-P-R) and wait for 3 boings, firmware password should be gone.

TNT Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=iMac.NIGHTMAREPRO DON'T FORGET TO REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST!depends from the version. The old: have to remove the memory banks for 2 minutes, then put the one back and hold the reset combination for 3 times.. The new: you need to get the hash code and send it to apple, then they return you a file to write to SD Card or USB and start the device with the USB/SD-Card attached.. it will automatically remove the pass Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303433-how-to-remove-open-firmware-password/#findComment-2105208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
