Secure log on...
anyone with a mac dvd, or anyone who knows 'command-R' can get into a mac, and change the password...and access that computer.
up thru 10.7, i used a firmware password on my macs. if you booted up without holding the Option key...you'd get a flashing question mark. this no longer works on my new mac, in ML. is there a 10.8 equivalent to a firmware password? i miss that extra security...

Do a command-r boot to recovery and in the utility menu you will see the option to set an EFI boot password like you want.

If someone has physical access to your machine you're pretty much screwed.

it's still listed as a firmware password. but i get it...if someone DOES try to boot from a dvd, or command-R...they STILL need a password to get in.
different from my previous os x experience, but useful. thanx!
