Open Firmware Password

[elurscam]

Ok,

so after reading an article about increasing security on your mac I decided to apply a firmware password, using Open Firmware Password. WHICH according to apple is located on my leopard install disk under applications/utilities....

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352

as stated if you are running MAC OS X 10.5 or later. which i am

yet i put in both disks that came with my MBP and, yet i find no Open Firmware password.

so WTF over. I search forums for things like "can't find open firmware password", and get nothing. just a bunch of half conversations that don't provide any insight.

any help on this? I also read that intel macs use EFI. whatever that is, (not mentioned on the apple website by the way)

also on the apple site (above link) they specifically state that Open Firmware Password will work on, and I qoute "any intel-based mac"

so I say again WTF.

No it's not.

For Mac OS X v10.5.x, start from the Leopard Install DVD and choose Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu, then skip to step 5.
