[QUOTE="m00nraker, post: 675860, member: 58129"] OK, so i was given a Powermac G4 that my buddy didn't want anymore. He took his HDD, so I put in an 80GB i had lying around. I then tried to boot from the OS BUT I've determined that the open firmware password is enabled...and of course my friend didn't know/remember he did that :Sleeping: I have tried removing/adding RAM DIMMS and then trying to reset the PRAM. It doesnt work. In fact none of the fixes i have found have worked for me. Some one help! [/QUOTE]
