[QUOTE="GT5.0, post: 34739, member: 1420"] Apple Open Firmware Password Utility??? Where is it, or where can I find it? Quoted from MACWORLD July 2004, "While pass-word protected accounts are a good idea, a thief could easily bypass the protection by starting up with a CD-ROM. To prevent this, the user should invoke Apple's Open Firmware Password Utility. This will require a password for starting up the computer when holding down the option, C, or T keys, keeping all but the most dedicated hacker from breaking into your computer..." Where can I get this Apple Open Firmware Password Utility? Or where can I download it? Thanks, I want a little more security. [/QUOTE]
