Yup, my friend was playing with my laptop and locked me out of it. Any way i can get back in or at least get my files off before i blow it out?

    Check the apple support site for unlocking bootprom passwords.

    To unlock your password just boot from a panther cd and choose the change password service.

    (or boot -S and change it yourself if you know the root password)
