Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I bought an iMac from an old lady who had forgotten the firm password. I need to know what do I need to do. She didn’t give any papers or receipt but she was the only owner. I bought it through OfferUp. Please let me know so I can forward the serial number. Thanks.

You're not talking to Apple here, just other Apple product owners like yourself.

I bought an iMac from a person who had forgotten the firmware password, what do I need to do?
