[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1565324, member: 56379"] I in no way mean to "rub it in"...but why didn't you IMMEDIATELY remove that EFI password as soon as you got this computer??...I mean like the VERY first thing?? EFI passwords are so dangerous if the password is forgotten! Ooh boy...don't get me started with the "Geek Squad"!;) Back to the EFI password. There used to be a method to reset it on older Mac's...but this method no longer works on newer Mac's (at least since 2011). Sorry...I think that Apple is the only solution. - Nick p.s. The only thing I can suggest is...if you still have an e-mail from the seller of the MBA buried somewhere in your e-mail folder...try contacting the seller. I know it's been like 6+ months...but there aren't many other options. [/QUOTE]
