Q: Is it possible to password protect safe mode?
Hi everyone,
So I am wondering if it is possible to place a password when booting into safe mode on my Mac. Let me explain a little more. I know that the accounts are all their and you can place passwords on the user accounts, but here is my problem. I use k9 web filtering and when you boot up in safe mode it does not work and you have unfiltred access to the internet. Is it possible to only allow the system admin to boot into safe mode with a password so no one else would have access? Its a work around the filter I am trying to block. I would really apprecite any help or ideas to solve this. Thank you!
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities > Firmware Password Utility from the menu bar.
