Is it activation lock or could I get it working?
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15” 2018 model with a broken screen for just $20. However, it came with an unknown Apple ID
, which has been causing me some trouble. I've been trying different recovery methods to sort things out.
Initially, I attempted to use the reset password assistant, but signing in with my Apple ID didn't yield any results
. Additionally, the other options prompted me for a password for the encrypted disk
, which I don't have.
I then tried recovery mode over the internet and used Terminal to try the reset password option, but encountered the same issue
. It seems that the encrypted disk might be preventing the reset.
I also tried checking the activation lock status through Terminal, but I couldn't find a solution. The system_profiler SPHardwareDataType doesn’t work in the recovery mode terminal. Interestingly, the MacBook now appears in my list of devices under iCloud settings on my iPhone, which has added to my confusion
I haven't attempted deleting the encrypted disk
or reinstalling macOS yet, as I'm worried it might activate the activation lock if it's on. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

After erase there wasn’t activation lock. So now I am signed and it’s working fine.
