Oct 8, 2015 1:13 AM in response to Eight Daysby lllaass,What do you mean by PW protected?
Are you seeing this:
Lock icon
If you set a firmware password on your Mac, you might see a lock icon at startup if you try to start your Mac from another volume like an external drive or OS X Recovery. Enter your firmware password to continue starting up.
If yes then:
When you set a firmware password, make sure it's one you'll remember. You might want to write it down somewhere so that you don't forget it. If you forget your firmware password, you'll need to bring your Mac to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to unlock your Mac.
Otherwise do this

Oct 8, 2015 7:39 AM in response to Eight Daysby lllaass,Then, as I previously said, do this.
What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
Apps and other software like the OS itself is locked to the account that originally "purchased" them.
There are ways to reset the Admin Passwords but you would not be able to update ny app or even the OS itself son you have to reinstall the OS as described in the article.
