Member: 28936 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 0 | efi psw I put SSD disk from locked air to other air, formated drive and install fresh lion on it. Put it back and now i have air with question screen. So clean install doesn't work with firmware password. I try to use same names on partitions and it won't boot anyway. So i'm stuck. I'm wondering, how firmware check for right partition? Is it checking prom hard drive EFI partition or there is something else? How do apple remove firmware password? |
