[QUOTE="chscag, post: 909200, member: 46727"] If a firmware password has been set, you can not use ordinary means to access the machine to make changes, and that includes target mode. Oneironaut's advice is spot on. If the previous owner can't give you the password, send the machine back. Please read the following [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352"]Apple KB article[/URL] regarding firmware password usage. Regards. [/QUOTE]
