r/MacOS on Reddit: MDM Key for MacBook
October 11, 2020 -

Hello, We're in a situation and we can not move forward. Long story short, My friend's son has passed away and we can not open his devices. He had a MacBook and iPhone. We stuck on the activation lock or use the MDM key. My friend doesn't know his son's password. We contacted apple several times to help up reset the password for his iCloud or remove the activation lock.

They requested proof of purchase which we did provide them and nothing after that. No email is been sent or nothing. Support doesn't help, every time we call they apologize and ask as to re-submit the request again. For over 2 months and nothing... Any help we greatly appreciate it.

You can check by holding down the Option key immediately after powering on the Mac (Intel Macs only). If you see a padlock, the Mac has a firmware password lock enabled...there is nothing you can do to remove it as it requires acceptable proof of purchase which you won't have since you are not the original owner. ...

r/macsysadmin on Reddit: Remove activation lock with MDM?
March 21, 2024 -

Is it possible to remove activation lock from a device using the MDM? In this case, the MDM is Jamf. The device was configured using “Find My” with a personal iCloud account and the device key in Jamf doesn’t appear to be working. Also, how could I prevent users from enabling “Find My” with a personal account moving forward?

From what I am seeing, I have to go to Apple with proof of purchase, but wanted to confirm before doing so.
