Remove wireless info from macOS recovery mode on Apple Sillicon

I have a MacBook Air that has been connected to my WiFi network temporarily to configure it.

I've removed the WiFi netwerk in macOS and the Mac wil not reconnect to the WiFi upon restart.

But when I start the Mac in recovery mode, the WiFi network connection is back again!

And even worse, after restarting in macOS, the Mac automatically connects to the WiFi network.

Resetting NVRAM/PRAM does not work on these kind of Macs.

What can I do to make this Mac forget it has ever been connected to this WiFi network?

Revive or restore a Mac with Apple silicon with Apple Configurator 2 - Apple Support

This sequence isn’t documented anywhere I’m aware of, and I don’t presently have an M1 I can test this with.
