Feb 21, 2012 6:57 PM in response to lamontfrmgaby BDAqua,You have Firmware password protection in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
It would block usage of all the startup keys, like C, N, T, D, CMD+s, CMD+Option+p+r, CMD +v, Option, and Shift, as well as booting from anything but the Hard Drive.
Force Removing Password Protection
1) Add or remove DIMMs to change the total amount of RAM in the computer.
2) Then, the PRAM must be reset 3 times. (Command + Option + P + R).

Feb 22, 2012 12:48 PM in response to lamontfrmgaby Matthew Knice,First you will need a Drive in the computer. Second, BDAqua is talking about Memory (RAM) when he refers to "DIMMs" Then follow the instructions. My suggestion would be to remove one of the DIMM sticks thats easier then buying another stick. Just my two cents.
