Defined with administrator privileges, this password is the best low-level protection for your Mac.
It avoids :
- your hard disk to be formatted,
- your Mac to be started up in target disc mode, from another disc, or another partition.

You’ll find on Mac OS X Install Disc 1 the utility to easily add or remove a firmware password.

The firmware password utility is available when booting from this DVD or by following our step by step video.

Hold the Alt key at startup to test this password.
