And I was not able neither to boot to safe mode, nor reset PRAM because of that damn Firmware password I had on my machine. Spent whole day trying out everything until I found this page. Removed one stick of RAM, reset PRAM - everything works again! You’re my hero, man :)

The dvd will not boot up when holding down C key.Their tech told me I was being blocked from starting up from anything but main drive by the firmware password preventing. I stumbled on this thread, but I don't think it would apply to this, removing ram. How can I turn off or reset that firmware password to let me boot from a dvd??
