I have a very old but very reliable hackintosh, that i am running for years. Some software i run needs minimum El Capitan so i decided to give the old horse one last update before retirement, installing Sierra (Updating from Mavericks).
The machine is a Gigabyte Ep45-UD3p with 8GB ram, a GT9500 and a GTX680. As i said, it ran everything it threw at it OSX wise very reliably and also the Sierra install process using Unibeast and then Multibeast worked like a charm.
There are some minor Sleep / Shutdown issues i wanted to debug so i tried to take a look at the BIOS, finding out it has a BIOS password set, something i never did and know for sure it didnt exist before installing Sierra. So, i am deducing, something in the install process resulted in a BIOS password being set... It's no biggie since i can probably reset the bios password with a jumper, the question WHY i suddenly have a BIOS password remains. The machine has never seen any kind of Windows or Linux installation in its lifetime, it always ran OSX, since it's possible in the Hackintosh world always using vanilla OSX images ... Anyone can enlighten me what happened there?
Thanks,
