Open Firmware Password

[lear]

How do I setup an Open Firmware password on my MacBook? I can't find Open Firmware on the included discs.

Intel macs don't use Open Firmware and therefore cannot have an Open Firmware password enabled.

The app is called "Open Firmware password" even though MacBooks use EFI (I think that they are about the same). I have one for my MacBook. It is located in "Mac OS X Install Disk 1/Applications/Utilities/Open Firmware Password" just copy it to your hard drive and run it.

So do I not need to set up a password to do what having an open firmware password does or if not how do I do that?

Well as Mernak said, you can set up a password that has the same effect as an Open Firmware password, but it isn't actually an open firmware password per se.
