MBP Retina Firmware Password Reset

I purchased a MBP Retina 13.3/2.5/8GB/128GB back in Nov 2012 and all was fine.
Last year I installed Orbicule Undercover software, in case it got lost & stolen and it recommended I set a Firmware Password, which I did and now I have forgotten that password.
I want to reset my MBP but without the firmware password I am completely locked out at the reset screen.
It works fine day to day, and I know the password to lock & unlock features or settings, etc.
It is running the latest operating System, Yosemite. I have had no trouble upgrading the OS System as they have been made available.
Many post say  to take the MBP to an Apple Store so they can reset it with a special CD/DVD, only my MBP has no optical drive.
Clearly it is out of warranty coverage, as I did not purchase the extended warranty.
I don't have the skills to take the thing apart, my past history with old window based laptops is not good! (Although I did have more parts left over when I was done)
Does anyone know if I schedule a Genius Bar appointment, if they can help me? And the approximate cost they would charge me??
I have my original receipt & packaging to show that it is mine, and not a stolen unit.
Any Advice or information on the above questions will be gratefully received!!!

You probably bought a Mac that was stolen. I sure hope a 2011 model, whether the Early version or the Late version (There was no MID 2011 model), would certainly sell for much more than $515. That should of been your first clue there was something up with this noteboook and the seller.
Apple can remove the firmware password but only for the rightful owner.
The best thing you can do is take back into an Apple store and ask them to look up the serial number to find the original owner, if possible, and see if there is any contact info for them and return that system to them. Yes you would still be out the $515 but you would be doinig the right thing. Do the right thing and the right thing happen.

  • MBP Retina Desktop Wallpaper resets after restart

    Earlier this week I got my new MBP 15" Retina, and completed a clean installation of applications from my old MBP.
    This morning I had to install and update and for the first time had to restart the computer.  After restarting the origional wallpaper shows on login.
    After login and going into Desktop & Screen Saver Settings it shows the proper desktop image.
    Steps Completed:
    1) Problem only occurs on Restart or Shut Down.  A Log Off will maintain the correct wallpaper.
    2) Tried changing to Standard Desktop Picture or an iPhoto gallery photo.
    3) Unlocked '/Users/scottdavis/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist' made wallpaper change (it changes date modified).  Restart.  Did not resolve.
    4) Tested the same process on MBP 17" Early 2008, works correctly.
    5) Running OSX 10.8.2 - completed MBP Update 2.0 (is where I had to restart)

    Hi all,
    I have had this same issue with OS X Lion and it continued on to OS X Mountain Lion as well. I have had the wallpaper switching on me to the default solid blue color whenever I restarted (every month or so) and when switching between users (every other day or so). So this issue was very frustrating having to go back in and reset the wallpaper to my preference whenever I switched to either user. I found a solution that has been working for me for several restarts and several switching of users now:
    First, I took some of your advice by locating all of my wallpapers into a 'Wallpaper' folder located in each user's 'Documents' directory. I copied to same wallpapers to each user so both user's have the same wallpapers to choose from.
    Then, I installed the latest stable version of 'OnyX' (freeware software). I used OnyX on both user accounts to run through practically all the settings to clean up the entire Mac (Mac Mini, mid 2011) including: Verify [S.M.A.R.T. Status, Structure of volume, and Preferences], Maintenance [Permissions], Cleaning [System cache, User cache, Internet cache, Fonts cache, Log cache, Misc. cache]. I generally left the default checked boxes alone and didn't change any settings and Executed the program to run as default.
    After running OnyX, I re-set my wallpapers for each user and went ahead and tested the restarting of the computer and switching back and forth between users. It was very easy to duplicate the bug previously, but now I could not get the wallpaper to switch back to the default blue as before. Everything seems stable with my wallpaper selection now.
    Hope this helps someone. Thanks everyone for your input too.
    As a side note, my Mac is running much smoother and quicker now too.  =)

  • DON'T Install Snow Leopard on early MacBook Pro with Firmware password on!!

    I'm going to summarize my postings from yesterday because I don't want anyone wasting their night like I did.
    Many of us who upgraded from Tiger created a Firmware password to ensure that people won't be able to wipe and re-install the HD for sale if the computer gets stolen. I also note that, like me, many have been suffering the recent won't wake from sleep issues that make it feel like the HD is dead. Sometimes it starts from sleep, mostly it's a real hassle to get it to wake up and when it does it's generally in safe sleep mode. I managed to find a "halfway" good fix for that issue by changing the sleep mode from 0 to 3 in the terminal, found a useful script by Googling the problem. Fixes 90% of my issues on that score. But I wanted to install Snow Leopard to "hopefully" fix that issue for good.
    HOWEVER, if you have a MacBook Pro 2006-2007 model and the original install disc is still Tiger, WARNING TURN OFF THE FIRMWARE PASSWORD if you created one before you attempt an install. Otherwise you'll be completely stuck in black screen **** and you cannot restart from the Snow Leopard disc once you have it in, neither can you eject it because you never get that far.
    The computer, after installing Snow Leopard just gets stuck on the grey screen for a while and then goes black. The computer will not boot from the Snow Leopard disc, Techtool Protege or Leopard disc and the BIGGEST PROBLEM is; you can't Zap the PRAM with firmware active to try and continue installation as some other posters have suggested. Basically, you're screwed.
    To get the Snow Leopard disc out I rebooted in Windows and ejected the disc, then put in first the Leopard disc... didn't work... then rebooted, ejected and put in the original installation disc with Tiger, that did work but no firmware password reset!!!
    The only solution was for me to wipe the disc, reinstall Tiger from the original install disc, which was the only one that worked. Once I could restart the computer again in Tiger, I was finally able to reboot from the Leopard disc and disable the firmware password.
    Then I restarted, zapped the PRAM and using the Leopard disc, restored my machine to its former self with my Time Machine back up. Ran Techtool Pro 5 to fix permissions and rebuild volumes etc. and now have it working again.
    I think I'll leave Snow Leopard for a while since I don't know whether the zapping PRAM works during install and frankly, don't have the time to go through this entire debilitating process again. If anyone does manage to get things running on the earlier MacBook Pros please let me know how it went!
    Anyway, just thought I'd give people a heads up on the Firmware password thing... it's really a bugger on the older models because it wasn't originally included on the original install disc leaving you with no options!!

    Sorry, just wnated to post a comment not question, wasn't sure how to mark it!

  • Quad G5 firmware password

    I can't get by the firmware password and I tried to take the memory stick trick out and reset the Pram 3 times and other guesses? My bootrom is 5.2.7f1

    Hi, Do you have the original install media that came with your mac? If so, insert the 1st disk Mac OS X Install disk 1. Hold down the C key and let it boot.. from the main menu select english.. then goto the finder at the top and click on tools and select firmware password reset..
    From there you will be able to reset the password.

  • Known freshly set firmware password, not being accepted on new MBP with retina. Locked out of bootmenu.

    Hello,
    I have a MBP 15" with retina display and 16GB of RAM.
    I bought it end August/early september and it has worked great so far, really happy with it.
    After encountering some people that have had theirs stolen, i figured it was a good idea to enter a firmware password so that people can't use external drives to boot up from.
    I just rebooted holding the alt key, clicked utilities -> firmware password and I set myself a password. It is one word, starts with a capital letter and has 2 numbers incorporated in it.
    I then immediately rebooted and held alt again to test it. I enter the exact same password (100% sure) and for some reason it just deletes the entered password when i click enter/the ok arrow and it does nothing.......
    Please tell me this is a known MAC problem, I am 100% sure i'm not going mad, but this kind of problem is annoying me! I have a dualboot windows 7 partition that I would like to continue to use without working virtually from within MAC OS X.
    Thanks, any ideas appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Nick

    Sigh i found it ....
    Apple you could have mentioned that you enter it as QWERTY instead of AZERTY -_- My letters were coincidently all the same, however the numbers need shift pressed in the latter which they don't in the former.
    Oh well, Back to enjoying my wonderful machine now
    Bye and sorry for the unnecessary read! Hope it helps some with the same problem.

  • How can I reset the open firmware password?

    I wanted to installed Mac OS X Lion from scratch on my newly purchased MBP 15,4"
    I put the installESD.dmg on a USB pendrive, then I boot on it. I used Disk utility to erase en encrypte my drive, and at the same time I set the Open firmware password.
    I launched the installation process, after a while the computer reboot but I got an error:
    there was a problem installing mac os x try reinstalling
    I google this error and found many people who solved this issue by erasing the PRAM using the shortcut: cmd + opt + P + R. I'm asked to enter the password which I did but it's still keeping asking for the password so I guess its wrong which is weird cause I typed it in few minutes ago, so I might have done twice a typing error or I don't know.
    So my question is how can I reset this password to be able to install my OS? (I cannot access to any OS cause the installation process failed).
    Thnak you for your help

    Yes I did use the disk utility to restore the dmg on my USB drive. The USB drive is perfectly fine, I can boot on it without any problem, well before setting this open firmware password I could do it.
    Now the situation is:
    No system installed,
    Lock with a password
    I have the disk to install SL but I cannot boot on the DVD because it is asking me for this password.

  • Any one know how to reset the open firmware password?

    iBook G4. 1.33ghz. 1GB RAM.30 or 40GB HDD. Running 10.5.8
    I got this from a friend, who got it from a friend. And its acting funny. It works. But a lot of options are missing from the System Preferences pane. And another friend said to reset the NVRAM and all the setting in the open firmware. Only no one seems to know the open firmware password. And I can't seem to find how you'd reset all the setting in the open firmware. I'm working on locating the installation disks for this iBook. But will that even help me with this resetting open firmware business?

    I did a google search and here is one link that might have some helpful information -

  • Open Firmware password works or doesn't work on MBP?

    I'm confused...
    This article describes how to set up Open Firmware Password on Macs, including, Intel-based Macs and even states what OFP disables on Intel-based Macs when enabled:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482
    just to finish the article at the bottom with the following sentence:
    "Note that Intel-based Macintosh computers do not use Open Firmware. Thesesteps do not apply to Intel-based machines."
    So, what is what? OFP works or not on MBP? If yes then what works and what doesn't?
    I've read one post here stating that it didn't stop booting from CD at all.
    An expert advice will be appreciated.

    I'm another confused MBP user.
    I have a 15" MacBook Pro (MBP) and want to protect the Intel based machine using Apple's Open Firmware Application.
    Since the MBP doesn't have an open firmware layer, how do you apply a firmware password? Apple's site is of no help and has conflicting information.
    I tried the OF Application (V 1.1) from the Tiger install DVD and receive a message about my firmware being too old to use with the application. The MBP SMC version is 1.2f10 and the Boot ROM is version MBP11.0055.B03. Both are current.
    Has anyone been successful???
    thanks

  • Resetting a firmware password when never put a firmware password on Macboo Pro OSX Lion

    I have never put a firmware password on my Macbook Pro OSX Lion (2012). But now when I am trying to reset it, its asking for a password how can I reset this or remove it.

    Hi macbookprowilliam, I have the SAME problem, that grey lock just appeared trolling me. I dunno the password and I wan't to sell this macbook! I need the password. Maybe it's a new malware! I don't even know how to set a firmware password and I am the only user on this computer too! I have a thread about that too: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3926399?start=0&tstart=0
    So, did you fix it or got around it? Please reply! I am desperate.

  • Resetting Firmware Password

    My iMac G5 is a complete disaster. It turns off cold if I plug in a firewire HD. I have a firmware password set which I know, but when I enter the password it briefly shows the selection screen and then proceeds to a white screen with a command prompt. Because of the firmware password I cannot reinstall OS X, and I cannot boot into the install DVD to reset the password because I cannot select boot to DVD in the startup selection menu!
    So I opened up the iMac to remove its CMOS battery so that it would forget the password... but I cannot locate any such battery. Where is it? How can I deal with this issue? My current install of OS X is broken because I restarted improperly and upon reboot I can no longer login! When I login as Guest, I see that my username's home directory has disappeared.

  • Lost open firmware password - any way to reset?

    Hi
    I lent my PB to someone and I don't know exactly what happened, but now the PB can't start up. I get the flashing Finder icon and question mark, so I got out my install discs and tried to repair permissions/reinstall. But I set an open firmware password which I have now forgotten, so I can't boot up from the disc. Is there any way that I can reset the password, or somehow reinstall?
    I did check the airport card, it seems to be seated properly.
    I'm running 10.3.9 on the 1.33 GHz PB.
    Any help will be hugely appreceiated. Thank you.
    p53

    Thanks Gossamer, but I can't reset the PRAM because I've lost my open firmware password.
    I'm basically stuck with a PB that won't start up until I remember my open firmware password (which is unlikely) or I am able to reset the password somehow.
    I didn't mention in my first post - when the PB goes into open firmware mode, the screen displays:
    "Invalid memory access at SRR0: ff84a4d0 SRR1: 0000b030"
    Does this indicate a problem with the memory?

  • How much will Apple Charge to reset Firmware Password?

    My younger brother has a 2012 MacBook Air 13" with all standard options and he somehow managed to set a firmware password and doesn't even remember doing it considering he forgets things easily. We need this password reset in order to run a disk repair but in order to do that, he needs to boot into recovery mod but it asks for the firmware password. There's absolutely no way to recover or hack it unless you could trick apple that you're an authorized Apple service technician from what I hear. His 1 year AppleCare expiered so it's gonna cost but I want to know about how much it will be to reset this password. I believe you can buy the devices to reset them from eBay but they're a like, $400!

    just call any apple store and ask.
