Q: macbook pro firmware password reset usb tool?
I have a macbook pro, 13 inch, late 2011, that was once locked with a firmware password that I didn't know. I took it to mac life and they unlocked it for me. The frustrating part was, they wouldn't give me the tool that they used on my computer. That tool was specifically for my computer, and would only work on that computer. Why won't they give me the tools to reset a firmware password myself? Why do they say they can't give me the tools so I could do it myself? They say it's for their use only. That's just rediculous. It's crap. I do labor on computers quiet a bit, and I have spent almost 10 years learning computers. I tried to tell them that, but they still wouldn't give me the tools. Why won't they. You'd think they would just give you those tools, instead of it's for Apple's use only. Does anyone have any ideas about why normal computer users can't just do it themselves? Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), late 2011
