[Hidden-tech] Mac Password Reset "not activation locked"

[Ted Trobaugh]

Hey all,

I have a Macbook Air Silicon, and the user does not know his password. I
have gotten to the password reset options (by keeping the power button
depressed while turning it on). I have successfully entered user's icloud
credentials.  When icloud sends the 6-digit code to his cell phone and I
enter that code into the Macbook Air I get the following message:

"Your Mac is not activation locked.  Select an admin user you know the
password for to proceed."

I cannot find any post related to this specific message. Typing the phrase
into apple support yields nothing.

At this point the only thing I can think to do is erase the disk and
reinstall.


Can anybody tell me what the above message means, and why it would tell me
to enter a password I know at the end of a process that starts with me
telling it I don't know any passwords?
