Hi,
Ok, here’s what I found after asking the question.

When making a Firmware password, you can only use standard alpha numeric. You 
can not use things like å.

However, it’s ok to use whatever I want in login passwords for accounts.
I tested this and it appears to work accordingly.

When I attempted to create a firmware password using extended ascii, I got a 
message that only alpha numeric can be used.
Then when I changed my user login password, I was able to use anything i 
attempted.

Later.
