Hi,


If you can't remember your firmware password, schedule an in-person service appointment with an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. Bring your Mac to the appointment, and bring your original receipt or invoice as proof of purchase.

Troubleshooting Forgotten Passwords:


A. Recollection of a Password:

Look all around your room, and see what comes to mind. As I sat in my timeout room chair in the corner of my room, I looked up at mom and said to myself, "Oh yeah! I remember now!".

Based on Keywords:

  1. Pet name
  2. Family name
  3. School Name
  4. Favorite place
  5. Teacher's name
  6. Shopping Store
  7. Previous Passwords


B. Keep a Hardcopy:

Take this as a learning experience, knowing that it is important to keep a handwritten, hardcopy of your password. Have her store it in a private location that only she is aware of, and only she has access to.
