In the window that appears click the Change button, then enable the Require Password to Change Firmware Settings option and enter and verify a password. Boot your Mac from that installer disc again, find your way to the Welcome screen, and from the Utilities menu choose Firmware Password Utility. Thanks so much!įortunately, there’s something you can do. You’ve just given my kid the key to taking over my Mac.
You can’t, however, access keychain items (web site passwords, for example) saved in that login keychain without the password originally used. What this means is that you’ll be able to do all the things an Administrator can-install applications and muck with all the Mac’s system preferences, for example.
Note that when you’ve reset the Administrator’s password you haven’t reset the login keychain password-that password remains as it was when it was originally set.
