[QUOTE="rethel, post: 1942499, member: 400673"] My wife does not have an iCloud account. She does not have an Apple ID either, the times she tried would get a big black message that creating one could not be completed at this time. [URL="https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5287024"]Command-R requires password - Apple Community[/URL] says the password is for firmware, and to go to the Apple store. Another suggestion is to reset the SMC, and go to the Apple store. Given the long waits for the Genius bar, resetting the SMC would certainly be faster but can find no hint on what to do after it is reset. I am uncomfortable not knowing the firmware password but if it is not needed for the re-install that's what comes next. [/QUOTE]
