[QUOTE="Dec540, post: 1214462, member: 53252"] Clearly i stated that a password to protect your data was of utmost importance. The question posted by the OP was "how do i prevent my macbook from getting stolen?" I believe that a separate password that prompts when a user tries to reinstall or change the hard drive is pointless for this objective. You may want to prevent the thief from using the device and thats fair enough, it will make it harder to "flog it off" but at the end of the day your macbook is still gone. [/QUOTE]
