The article covers the old method used by Apple to set the Firmware password and now the newer method. It's important to note that from 2011 models onward, a forgotten EFI Firmware password can only be reset by Apple. [URL="http://www.cnet.com/news/efi-firmware-protection-locks-down-newer-macs/"]EFI Password Locks down newer Macs[/URL] From the above article, you can see how complex the process is and why an ordinary user or even someone with extended Mac knowledge is not going to be able to remove the password without Apple's help.
