![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On Intel and PPC based Macs, the firmware password protection is based on two different types of firmware: the Intel-based computers use the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) technology and the PowerPC processor-based machines use Open Firmware. Because Apple does not provide technical support or endorse using the Open Firmware Password Protection feature on earlier versions of Mac OS or with any third-party software utilities, you should be careful and first make sure that your Mac complies with this basic requirement. The firmware password protection feature is off by default on all Mac machines and, according to Apple, the Open Firmware Password tool should be used only on Macs with Mac OS X 10.1 and later. If you want to prevent others from booting your machine and getting access to your data, you can use the firmware password protection features to easily set up a low-level password protection for your Mac. Are you always thinking that people might get their hands on your data and you do everything you can to make sure it is always safe and you are the only one that has access to it? If that description applies to you, then you have to know that Apple has a really neat trick in store for you.
