So, uh.. having a tough time tracking down my MBP that was foolishly left in the back seat of a cab last week.
Now, i have done all the necessary reports and have done some research (posting and searching craigslist and ebay..) in order to victoriously be reunited with my lovely macbook pro.
I am starting to get worried right now because i'm not hearing anything from the cab company or anyone that may have info to help me out.
So, lets just say that this person that got in the cab after me (hah, or the cabbie) decides to keep this or sell this. This laptop is password protected, meaning no major changes or restarts can be made. This laptop is completely useless to this person.
Now, i am new to mac's kind of, and i am not a tech-whiz.
What possibly can be done to change a password or wipe the computer clean without any software or OS disks ? Is the person that has my laptop screwed ? Would this person actually purchase a new hard drive ??
Ugh, im very very paranoid and worried still.
