Firmware lock unintentionally activated and Apple is unable to help me unlock my Mac Mini.
I was playing with Find My iPhone and had accidentally erased my Mac mini to end up with a paper weight of a Mac mini.
Since I purchased this from eBay, I was able to track down the original owner, and find out the authorized retailer he bought the computer. I gave up trying probe the seller and the nationally recognized retailer that the laptop was purchased from.
I really want this computer to work, can you please just let me use it again? I made a mistake learning how to use iCloud.com/findmyphone it was an accidental.
Do I really need to escalate this to the retailer to recover the original purchase reciept? The eBay seller I bought it from, purchased the Mac mini in 2016, so 5 years ago.
