How can I reset the PRAM if Recovery Mode keeps overriding the PRAM command?

Lion uses the ⌘ + R to boot into recovery mode. Resetting the PRAM in anything less than 10.7 was ⌘ + ⌥ + P + R.

Recovery mode now seems to override the PRAM command. Does anyone know if there is a new way to reset the PRAM now that Lion is installed?

Solution 1:

Resetting the PRAM works the same way it always did. This is a function of the hardware - not the OS. What makes you think it doesn't work anymore? (tested on Macbook, Mac Mini).

Solution 2:

Nate , PRAM reset is not working because you turn on Password Firmware Protection. Turn it off and P+R+Option+Command will work.

Solution 3:

Or she has spilt something on the keyboard and the shift key is telling the computer it's being held down, so no matter what, it will boot into recovery mode. I work for an apple specialist and see it all the time.
