I used to use the Open Firmware Password application and it worked fine on both my iMac G4 and iBook G4. Then I switched to FileVault. I decided to go back to Open Firmware Password for security. However, the application does not work anymore on either machine. I give it a password. Reboot. Then I use an external firewire hard drive with an OS 10.3 system on it and both computers boot from the external firewire drive. This should not happen, I should not be able to boot from an external drive, but I am. I used to use Open Firmware Password application without any problems on either machine. Now it does not seem to do anything on either machine. --------------- Greg Martinez gregmartinez at mac.com iBook 12" G4, 800MHz, OS 10.3.6, 640 MB RAM. ---------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
