| Mar 18, 2016 at 19:58 | comment | added | André Borie | You are right though, usually you couldn't care less about the firmware password unless you need this exact machine to boot, such as when you need the TPM to release the drive's encryption key. | |
| Mar 18, 2016 at 19:56 | comment | added | TheHidden | @AndréBorie true, but this should get alot of them... either that or you need to re flash it some how. but by that point you might as well just take out the harddrive | |
