[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 969676, member: 24160"] The system will not be able to boot without the firmware password...period. If you forget the firmware password, you can throw the machine away. If it becomes corrupted, you can throw the machine away. It will be of no use to you nor anyone else. However, the drive itself could still be removed and placed in another machine or external enclosure. The use of a firmware password should not be enabled without due consideration. edit: I'd listen to technologist (below) about this sort of thing before myself any day. [/QUOTE]
