Firmware Password Reset Macbook Air

So i'm running a 2015 mac with software 10.12.5 and im really getting sick of the irreversible security on the macbook air basically i cant boot in to recovery mode or single user mode because of a firmware password. Now i don't know if zapping the VRAM will work and i don't want to try it but i will if i have to. Also the reason for this discussion was can changing the amount of RAM and resetting the VRAM finally disable the firmware password i don't want to test until i know wether it will work or not. Also if this is not possible is there any exploit for my software version anyone knows about to up privileges within the software thank you that would really help.

See if Apple can help you. If they can't, you'll need to open the computer and use special hardware to reflash the EFI BIOS. It's not the kind of hardware most of us have laying around.


Here's a video of it being done on a Macbook Pro Retina. (I'll probably get banned for posting this)
