Feb 17, 2013 11:42 AM in response to brad.borlandby Kappy,You're right. I could have sworn that document covered Mountain Lion, but now I cannot find any mention of a firmware password for Mountain Lion.
I assume it may have been eliminated now that Mountain Lion's FileVault 2 provides full disk encryption obviating the need for a firmware password.

Feb 27, 2013 11:36 PM in response to Kappyby gsanderson,Given that setting a power on password used to be the recommended way to disable firewire DMA - anyone have any idea how to do that now (short of removing the .kext)

Mar 11, 2013 2:36 PM in response to Kappyby Anton Rang,It's moved a bit, since Lion isn’t distributed on DVD.
The directions are basically the same as for Leopard, except that instead of booting from DVD, you need to boot to the recovery partition by holding down the option key while rebooting, and choosing the Recovery HD.
