I tried to download the lastes version of open firmware, but it is incompatible with the version of my computer. Don't tell me to use a disk I got with my computer, that would be for a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook, which is what I have. Please tell me if you can find a link to a firmware password program for Mac OSX 10.6.8, or if you have another way of installing a firmware password. Thanks. 🙂
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
That's exactly my problem, whenever I try and open that application, it says that it quit unexpectedly. I don't know what to do.
You have other problems on your computer, then, or not reading carefully. Note this:
"For Mac OS X v10.5.x, start from the Leopard Install DVD and choose Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu, then skip to step 5."
For Snow Leopard if the above does not work, then look for the Firmware Password utility on your Snow Leopard DVD.
Oh, and please don't click on the Helpful or Solved buttons for your own posts. 🙂
I do not have a Snow Leopard DVD
I have a 10.6.8 OSX Macbook
Ignore this reply.
It is one of the two discs that came with your computer - Disc One is the installer.
I see. I don't have it with me at the moment. I will look for it later. Thank you for your help. This is my fault. Sorry to have troubled you with it.
No problem. It's a legitimate question.
Out of curiosity why do you need to use a Firmware Password? If ever you forget it you have a major problem.
I saw a computer recently hacked by being put into single-use mode. I don't want this to happen to my computer, and this seems like the best way to prevent that. I probably can't now, as I don't have the disk, but I will look for other ways of installing this. Thanks.
How do I install an open firmware password on my 10.6.8 OSX Macbook?
