Reply to comment by DMarquesPT in Activation Lock is a great feature, but needs a rethink as 2020 Macs are turned into landfill by hugglenugget

As I said in another thread we had a pile of Macs at work that had activation lock issues and Apple had refused to help. We bought them on the corporate account through the Apple store and they still would do nothing to unlock them. It was ridiculous.

Ridiculous is the company not using proper MDM and blame others for their mistakes.

That’s definitely not good. Supposedly they’ll unlock them if you provide proof of purchase but I never dealt with that so I take it it’s not as simple as it sounds.

Of course, if you’re a legitimate owner (as in, there’s no chance they were stolen and resold) you should be able to unlock them.
