How do I find the firmware password on a 2007 mbp osx 10.7.5?

I am looking to clean up my computer and the intruction I am following ask me to disable a fimware password if I have one. I don't know that. Neither do I know how to find out nor how to disable it. Thanks, Roy

So I fixed the size of the png. Mine was 1920x1600 but I might go in and fix it again just because it looks a little stretched. The background looks fine, except for one detail:
I'm now having trouble seeing the sleep, restart, and shutdown buttons. I've tried saving all the files that have linen at the end of them into a separate folder on the desktop and removing them from the resource file. I'm going to put them back and see what happens, but I honestly don't use those buttons when I log in so it's cool with me if I don't see them.

How do I set the firmware password on 10.7

Hi
How do I set the firmware password in Mac OS 10.7.2 (MacBook Pro) ?
The Apple instructions only seem to go up to 10.5.x
Thanks

Firmware password is not much use as any thief can reset it by pulling out the memory chips and putting them back in again.
The only real way to secure your data 99% is to use FileVault 2.

Found it. It is under keychain. Then you click the "i" button at the bottom of the page. It will pull up a box where you can check another box that states "show password". Then you will have to put in your keychain master password, and then .....boom! there it is.

What password are you refering to? A passcode lock on the ipad itself or the password for your apple id?
If its a pascode lock, then:

How do I locate the WPA password to connect to NETFLIX from a SONY Blue Ray DVD Player?

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Click the column headed Kind in the list of keychain items to arrange the list by kind. Look for an item of type "AirPort network password" that has the same name as your network. Double-click that item and check the box labeled Show password. Enter your keychain password (same as your login password) when prompted.

How do I find the save passwords key when I have previously said "don't save" for a site?

I can save passwords on new sites. On some sites I am not asked to save. Perhaps I previously said "Never Save" for the site. How do I override this?

Hi,
In your preferences (Tools -> Options in the menu), go to the "Security" tab, and beside the "Remember Passwords for sites" checkbox, you will see a button for "Exceptions...". If you've previously told Firefox not to remember a password for a site, it will appear in the list that pops up. Removing the site from the Exceptions list will make it ask you again next time whether you want to save your password.
Please note that some web sites request Firefox not to save your password (many banking sites are like this), in which case you can't save your password without more work. Also, Flash login pages generally don't work with the password manager.

How do i find the internet MAC address for my MBP?

I am trying to get my MBP integrated into my home wireless network. Need to enter MAC address.

System Preferences > Network, select the connection type (probably Wifi). Advanced button > hardware tab.
The MAC address is listed there.
MAC address filtering is not actually adding any security to a wifi network, so you may want to turn that off - it is trivial to spoof a MAC address & they are visible to anyone in range. Use WPA2 with a good password if you can.

How do I find the login password for keychain

Hello Linc Davis,
I am a novice MAC computer user and am being plagued by the Safari login keychain pop up, as well. Could you please tell me the steps I need to take to get to the place where I can disable this prompt. I do know my login password (for my user name on this computer), but I don't even know where the Keychain login can be found. Your help is greatly appreciated!! Many thanks!

How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE LINKS.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

HT202667 I don't know the password to my iCloud email account. My Apple and iTunes ID is not my iCloud email address. How do I find my iCloud password? I would like to add this email address to a mail app.

I Downloaded an app that keeps all address' in one place. I went to add my iCloud email and when asked for my password, nothing I tried worked. It is obviously not the same password that I use to login to my Apple or iTunes account. How do I find out my password?

Hi Kim,
The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.
iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address
Cheers,
Alex H.
