Can't find Firmware Password Utility in 10.6 server

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for the Firmware Password Utility in 10.6 and can't find it anywhere.
I see here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1352
That for 10.5 it was supposed to be on the install CD... I don't see that on my 10.6 CDs though, and it's not in Applications/Utilities.
Anyone know where this is?
I see here that this guy said "I recently put in the Mac OS X install disk (10.6.1) and set up a firmware password from the 'utilities' menu on the disk,"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2692748
But when I enter the install CD I just see "Install Mac OS X Server", "Other Installs", and "Documentation". Where is this utilities folder?
Thanks for any help!

It's not a folder, it's an item in the menu. Boot the distribution DVD, select the language, and (on the second screen of the installation, and immediately before you begin the install) you should now have a Utilities item listed in the menu. Look around under that. This is the same menu that is used for creating a restorable backup of your disk, repairing permissions, etc., so it's one you'll see from time to time.

  • How can i reset firmware password utility ?

    I have a Mac book pro-part No. MB986/LLA and I had two OS Mac OSX2 & Windows 7 saved on it . I had saved a Frame ware password utility 8 months ago on the system.
    yesterday the keyboard and track pad have been freezed . I have deleted the two partitions by an XP CD , now I cannot install the snow Leopard Mac.OS.X10.6 . The error notice I receive is ( *Installation failed , the installer could not start up the computer from the disk "Macintosh HD"try selecting your Disc using Starter Disc Utility* ) . I have used Leopard & snow Leopard DVDs several times to disable the framer password utility but without any result . I have resized the Ram of the system but it was worthless . How can I reset the Framer Password by using a snow Leopard DVD Terminal . The time of boot by using Mac DVD lasts about 20 minutes . I live in a country lacks apple co. agent . Pls help , tks & regards .

    Did you try resetting the PRAM immediately after changing the RAM configuration, Omidsmac?
    Do you know if the keyboard itself is now operating normally? If it is not then you may wish to also try using an external keyboard.

  • Where is Firmware Password Utility for Yosemite??

    Hi Guys,
    Wanted to check on Firmware Password set or not.   Can't find the Utility that did this.  In Yosemite, that is. 
    Has it been blown away, what ??    If so, how do we protect booting from some other disk?   Thanks.

    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3554
    "Only Apple retail stores or Apple Authorized Service Providers can  unlock a MacBook Air (Late 2010), MacBook Pro (Early 2011), or iMac (Mid 2011) computer protected by a firmware password.
    If you cannot remember the firmware password for your MacBook Air, schedule a service appointment with either an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.  If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store please make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only)."

  • Where is the "Open Firmware Password" utility on the 10.5 disk?

    Ok, I want to set the Open Firmware Password on my MacBook Pro. I'm running 10.5.2. I read that you have to get it from the 10.5 install disk but I cannot find it.
    Anybody know where it's hidden?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Everything you need to know is here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482
    EDIT: Oops, it looks like that document has not yet been updated for Leopard.
    You need to boot from your 10.5 DVD, select English, and then select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu.

  • Help with Open Firmware Password Utility

    Hi,
    I tried to run the Open Firmware Password Utility on Kittendaddy's indigo iMac (running Tiger 10.4.11) and nothing happened. The app acted like it was going to open, but didn't.
    I found the app here: www.apple.com/support/downloads/openfirmwarepassword.html
    What did I do wrong?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks, everyone. Unfortunately, it looks like Kittendaddy's iMac may have died the true death earlier tonight (and it had nothing to do with trying to install the open firmware password utility!). I just hope I can get it to start up one last time so I can get his music off it.

  • Using Firmware Password Utility on my Macbook Air without OS X Installer DVD?

    Hey there,
    I am wondering how I can set up the Firmware Password on my 13.3" Macbook Air.  I have used the Firmware Password Utility before from the OS X Installer DVD... however my Macbook Air has no DVD drive.  Is there a partition somewhere on the HDD that I can access to get to this utility? Can someone let me know how I should go about doing this?
    Thanks.

    Reboot holding down the CMD+R keys. It should be part of Recovery HD.

  • Need Firmware Password Utility

    Why was Firmware Password Utility removed from the Leopard installation DVD? I need to have it on the computers I am setting up and not just the DVD. The current way I'd need to boot all 300 computers I need to set up with it off of the DVD to set up Firmware protection, the old way it was available as an app I could just have in my utilities folders that I could run from my admin account. Ideas? suggestions?, help?...

    Hi Longtime, the file is on the DVD just hidden.You can get to it for copying back to your hard drive this way:
    Mount the leopard install disk (in my case it's name was "Mac OS X Install Disc 1")
    Then in the Go menu, select " Go to Folder... " and Type /Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/Applications/
    That will open up the applications folder on the DVD and then you can navigate into the Utilities folder and there is your file.
    Hope this helps,
    Jamy

  • I can't find firmware for my macbook6,1 2009late!

    hey guys, i have some problem here.
    when i turn a boot camp assistant it says that i should update my firmware to continue.
    so, i went to the apple site to get firmware but i can't find firmware for my macbook!
    i tried to update my software latest. what should i do for it?
    anybody give me some advice!! plz

    While I've found reference to a Firmware update for the MacBook versions immediately
    earlier than your model and immediately later than your model (you cite MacBook6.1)
    there was no listing where I commonly find that information on yours.
    How and where was your MacBook identified as 6.1? In the system profile inside?
    Very odd that it would ask for a Firmware update for BootCamp, unless there is an
    issue with either BootCamp or the computer.
    If you cannot discover what is going on, that would be an item to consult a Genius
    at an Apple Store, should there be one within reasonable distance of your location.
    At many Apple Stores that have an expert or Genius on staff, you can ask. Several
    allow you to set an appointment ahead of a visit so you have scheduled time there.
    A visit to see the Genius should be of no charge, and they can diagnose issues
    even though your device may not have any AppleCare or warranty plan.
    You could contact Support to set reservation:

  • Where can I find my password

    Where can I find my password to enter my AirPort Extreme WiFi network? Please help.

    See this user tip from forum expert Tesserax:
                     AirPort - Regain Access from Forgotten Passwords
    If that does not work, then you will need to perform a Soft Reset on the AirPort Extreme. This will give you 5 minutes of free access so that you can go in and setup new passwords.  Write those down.

  • I can't find the Terminal utility on my computer

    I can't find the Terminal utility on my computer. How or where can I get it? Mac OS 10.6.8

    You can't get it separately. You will have to re-Install Mac OS X. Luckily, it is not difficult or destructive.
    But .. how do you think you might have come to lose Terminal?
    EDIT: I see Niel has suggested you can extract if from your 10.6 DVD. That is doable.
    If extracting and Installing it with Pacifist gets too complicated, a re-Install may be easier.

  • How can i find my password to my time capsule

    I can't find the password to my time capsule

    There are at least 3 different passwords for the Time Capule......
    1)  base station or device password
    2)  wireless network password
    3)  disk password
    Which password are you looking for?
    Do you have the Mac that was used to set up the Time Capsule originally?
