Still haven't found a solution, my MBP is laying around in my room collecting dust sadly..
i could go to the Apple store, but they charge high prices for resetting the firmware pass, I might do this once i save up some money or someone comes up with a solution
Are you simply assuming they charge a high price, or did you call and get a quote? I've never heard of them charging for resetting that password. My local Apple stores don't charge.Still haven't found a solution, my MBP is laying around in my room collecting dust sadly..
I got my information from the following source:

That link applies to Windows PCs and has nothing to do with your Mac. Call your local Apple store.
You're making erroneous assumptions without getting any facts. Apple doesn't charge for that service.I know, but if they charge those prices for PC's, you can imagine what Apple charges
but I will give a call to my local Apple Store though
Why do you keep asking here, when a single phone call will get you a definitive answer?
Yes, even without AppleCare. If that was a requirement, I would have said, "Apple does not charge to reset the password, as long as you have AppleCare."
