Update [9/28/07]: The dialog box has stopped appearing altogether. That's one thing Macs seem to do a lot better than PCs: fix themselves. How they do so, beats the hell out of me. I guess I should just be grateful, albeit confused.

MacBook Firmware Upgrade Annoyance
Mac annoyances pop up almost as frequently as with my PC. Today, for instance, I upgraded my MacBook's firmware to 1.1 using the downloaded "MacBook EFI Firmware Update" patch, available today from Apple. After reboot I was greeted with yet another opportunity to enter an old password. I changed the computer name from [name redacted to protect my identity] some time ago... yet there it appears on the screen. Of course entering old passwords doesn't work. Canceling the dialog box altogether seems to be a stopgap measure for now.
