Feb 26, 2016 2:54 PM in response to guyfromindianapolisby guyfromindianapolis,Thanks but they don't really solve me the problem. I can't get into the password utility because it asks for the password for it.

Feb 26, 2016 2:57 PM in response to guyfromindianapolisby Japib,as stated : "If you can't remember the password you set using the Firmware Password Utility or Find My Mac, schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. Bring your proof of purchase (original receipt or invoice) with you. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation (available only in some countries)."

Feb 26, 2016 3:35 PM in response to Japibby guyfromindianapolis,I don't have an option to go to Apple store soon. I don't see how find my Mac helps me in my situation, and as I said the firmware password utility is not an option because it requires the efi password.

Use https://locate.apple.com/country to see if there's a service provider near you.
