I look at it that if a person is asking for help and they are registered to ifixit site they should get the answer they need. I have been working on Mac's since the early 1990's and that includes as an Apple trained and Certified tech and Apple has never put a restriction on me telling ANYONE how to use the software that Apple Provides. It is on the Apple Software, that is in plain sight, how to clear and reset Macintosh passwords and iPod lock codes.
If there is a question and I know the answer I do not feel I should second guess their intentions. I choose to think most people are good and do not want to hinder their use of the machine in their possession. I hope ifixit agrees. If not they should shut down the site as it would hinder the people they are trying to serve.
