[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1859230, member: 396914"] I took a look at ifixit.com with your model for how to do the replacement, and it doesn't look that hard ( [URL]https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Unibody+Model+A1342+Hard+Drive+Replacement/1670[/URL]) . If that is, in fact, the model you have, that machine is 11 years old, so you don't want to invest very much in getting it repaired because it's probably not worth that much. But a new drive might be well worth the investment if you do the repairs yourself. EDIT: If you do decide to replace the drive, you'll have to find installation discs for the operating system. Or have an install for High Sierra on a bootable drive you can attach to boot from. Now, all of this drive discussion assumes your drive has failed. But your original post says it's asking for a password, so is it booting to the login screen and you get stuck there? [/QUOTE]
