Macs are protected with industrial-strength password technology as a theft deterrent and to keep the owner's data private. There is no back door. There is no bypass. The password in not stored on the computer 'in the clear' where it can be hacked by even the most exptert hackers.


If you were sold a computer that was locked, contact the seller for return instructions -- a locked Mac is no good to you.
