If I found a laptop I would: 1. PC... pop out the BIOS battery to clear the BIOS password, re-flash the BIOS, DoD wipe the harddrive and install Windows fresh.

- palish 15y ago'twas a joke bro. If I found a laptop, I'd do everything in my power to return it to its owner.
- yardie 15y agoI miss the old firmware PowerMacs. You could reprogram the firmware to lock the boot sequence with a password. Unlike BIOS the firmware was NVRAM so popping the battery and resetting the PRAM wouldn't change much. The only way to get past the firmware was to replace the motherboard.
