Hey there,
I've been trying to fix my dad's old MBP. He doesn't remember the admin password though set up another account so I could get the serial, etc.
I've tried the COMMAND+R option though it asks me to connect to the internet, then does nothing but let the world animation roll indefinitely. Holding option on restart only has the same option plus the HDD to select on startup.
I've been having a google around though the tutorials for 2011 MBPs seem to be for solutions with older OS that don't work with Sierra.
Any help would be appreciated.

also, pressing option on startup with usb with the OS doesn't make the usb appear as an option next to the HDD
