[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1163342, member: 131855"] That is an interesting idea. I was thinking that in some of the cases where this was unsuccessful I couldn't tell if the procedure was followed correctly. Specifically, when you remove a stick of memory aren't you supposed to do the pram reset after adding or removing memory sticks? I'm not explaining myself well so lets use a "real world" example. Suppose I have a Mac with 4 GB of memory and need to remove such a password. I remove one stick leaving 2 GB of memory in the machine. I leave the memory out for a few minutes but never reset the pram before reinserting the ram I removed. That probably doesn't work because since the computer hasn't been reset as far as the computer is concerned nothing has changed. [/QUOTE]
