How to Recover a Lost EFI Firmware Password on a Mac Pro
The firmware of a MacBook Pro computer uses Extensible Firmware Interface or EFI technology. Your computer is configured with Firmware Password Protection that requires you to enter a password before installing programs onto your computer. This prevents harmful programs from being installed onto your system. If you lost your EFI firmware password, you can recover it through an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider.
