Hi Everyone, I'm not an MAC user, but recently a friend approached me with a MAC he inherited from a family member whose got it locked down thru password. It's a G4 Mac w/OS X (?). I was not able to do anything for him initially so I bought MAC OS X via eBay and attempted to access it No-Way! I thought like MS it would boot fm the dvd, but it didn't and theres been no progress there.It almost seems that the firmware password protection software fm the APPLE site was installed and I just can't get past it even following the instructions on that same site. HELP! Manny -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/pipermail/g4/attachments/20041227/7e8397b7/attachment.html
