macbook PRO password or macbook pro a1278 efi password reset all models including thunderbolt 2011 2012 2013 2014
macbook pro a1278 efi password reset . I have been through plenty of websites and posts where everyone said you must take your macbook pro password or thunderbolt mac to apple to reset the EFI password. That is not true. I am going to tell you how its done. The method is simple but can’t be done by most people including the smartest techs and hackers because it requires special equipment.
macbook pro a1278 efi password reset MACBOOK PRO PASSWORD CONT…all laptops have a bios chip INCLUDING THE NEW MACS. The only difference is that apple uses a NEWER BIOS CALLED EFI . If you ask any apple tech they will tell you that macs do not have a BIOS. Thats a bunch of crap!!! All computers need a chip to give out instructions when you press the power button. This chip on macs is manufactured by a company called Atmel and it is visible when you take off the bottom cover of your mac. Atmel chips have been around for years. The process of resetting the password is done in one of two ways. The tech knows how to safely read the chip & decrypting the information on it breaking the password. Then reloading the firmware downloaded from apple. the second last case method requires the removal of the chip and replaced with another one that is programmed with new firmware. I used My own 2012 macbook pro password with thunderbolt as a test machine.

step 1. I removed the password bios chip using a professional reflow machine.
step 1. programmed new chip (special equipment needed)
step 3 put chip in that has firmware on it using infrared soldering.
step 5 restart like new mac.
step 6 just added this on june 6 2012 and is very important ….. you must use a blank hard drive and a fresh install of your operating system. If you use your old operating system you run the risk of it auto resetting the ICLOUD MOBILE ME PIN LOCK. If you have a macbook air you must send the ssd drive because it also needs to be unlocked.
This process will remove the EFI password and Remove the system PIN LOCK these are 2 separate locks so if your computer asks for a 4 or 6 digit pin it means its double locked.
I do not recommend anyone with a radio shack soldering iron to even attempt this or you will damage your logic board!!!! local customers are welcome

This business is a top-notch phone repair, iPhone swap service, and several other quality areas of business. They have excellent communication and are very efficient and fast. Their prices and services are of such high quality and value that I literally could not believe it. I live in Illinois and still would not consider using any other business but Music Station for my phone repairs. I highly recommend this business and if you have not checked them out do yourself a favor and do so.
HIGHEST PRAISE. Professional, fast, reliable. The guys were great over the phone. They answered my questions patiently and allayed my fears. I printed out the form and sent my 2016 Macbook Pro to them. I was super nervous, but they contacted me to let me know (1) when they had received it, (2) when they had fixed, and (3) when they had shipped it back. Luckily, I didn't have to wait long. They unlocked it, reinstalled OS X, and sent it back all within a couple of days. When I got the machine back, it was perfect. It was clean, with no signs whatsoever that it had been in a repair shop. And, most importantly, it was unlocked and ready for me to start using it again. The machine is in perfect working order, no slow-down in the processing, no hitch in any of the components. HUGE thanks to Jersey City Repair / Music Station for saving me from having a REALLY expensive brick sitting on my desk.
This dude answered all of my questions and concerns and was very professional during the entire repair process. Got my Mac back like it was brand new and I have had no issues since then. I would definitely recommend this place. They sent me an email and left VM message telling me the puter was ready. Fast return shipping!
