Only way to Un-Lock your Mac is by taking it to an Apple Store. So with that out of the way, let's proceed on setting the Firmware Encryption Password. The Firmware Encryption Password option is found on the OS X Utilities Window and can be accessed in one of two ways, directly, by pressing and holding down the Command and R keys or via. The Recovery HD, by pressing and holding down the Option Key after turning on or restarting the Mac.
