[QUOTE="morr2010, post: 1235501, member: 201582"] Okay So I am Installing a new hard drive on my Macbook and reinstall Snow Leopard. But everytime I boot holding "Option" to select the drive I wish to boot from, it comes to a grey screen with the Lockpad on it and an option to enter a password. I have NO CLUE what that password would be. So I did what everyone does, and went to google. I found some ways to reset it, such as booting Holding Command+Option+P+R And removing a RAM stick. No of these options worked. Im getting scared that I am going to be SOL with a macbook and a new hard drive and have no way to install OS X on it. P.S: I wish these things has a physical "reset" button on the logic board. [/QUOTE]
