Mac Return "homework"
Preparing to send my MacBook Pro back for repairs/replacement. Written instructions that came with the box say "3. Turn off your Firmware password". I know I have an Apple ID, and an Apple Password, also another password to just enter the computer. Are any of these the "Firmware Password"? I don't recall ever setting up any "Firmware" password. Is this an instruction I should skip over? What is a Firmware password used for?
Thanks very much.
A confused old man!
PS: I have a 2021 MacBook Pro 16" with M1 chip. This model is not one of those presented below.
