Using Open Firmware Password with LeopardEdit

See the following page for information about removing Open Firmware Password protection:

In short:

  • Reboot the machine while holding down Command+Option+O+F
  • At the prompt type reset-nvram
  • Enter password
  • Type reset-all

Note that in my case pressing the "-" key on my (Spanish) keyboard yielded another character. To enter the "-" I actually had to press the "'" key. Thank goodness for muscle memory.
