Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

When I turn on my MacBook Air I’ll gives me a message “your computer is disabled. Try again in 59 minutes.” It keeps happening and never happened before. What can I do.

My MacBook Air says “Your computer is disabled. Try again in 59 minutes.” It keeps happening over and over. It has never happened before! How can I get out of it.

It appears as though someone remotely locked it, or used Activation Lock: About Activation Lock on your Mac - Apple Support.


Refer to What to do if your Mac starts up to an Activate Mac window.


If it was locked remotely, refer to How do I unlock my Mac? in If your Mac is lost or stolen.
