Great article Erik. My question is about reversing the firmware password setting. You said that any local administrator can do it but how would you go about doing that if the setting was originally set from the boot disk which you can no longer load without a password?
Hi Spitfire_Sysop! The answer to your question really depends on the year of your model Mac hardware. But the general consensus is that if your gear is a 2010 or later model, then you would need to schedule an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar since only they can properly reset the forgotten EFI password using their own internal system applications.

Hope this helps!
