Hi there, agata1234,
Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. We see your post about your MacBook has not gotten a response just yet. Providing additional information about what's going on may help others in the community get you to a solution! Try answering the following questions:
Best.
Hi,
it is MacBook Air with M1 processor (512 GB RAM, 1TB SSD).
i somehow deleted (from my iPhone, by mistake) the MacBook account.
How can now I recover my MacBook account? I was trying macOS recovery through options and it asks for password which I do not recall.
how can I proceed?
Thanks for following up, agata1234,
If you removed your MacBook Air from your iCloud account using your iPhone, this merely means you have signed out of iCloud. In this instance, the only thing that you should need to do is go into System Preferences and sign back into iCloud on the MacBook Air: Set up iCloud on your Mac - Apple Support.
If you have forgotten the password to your Apple ID account and that is preventing you from signing into iCloud, you can reset it using If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support.
You should not need to reinstall macOS or use macOS Recovery to reset your Apple ID password, or regain access to iCloud on your Mac. If you do want to reinstall macOS at any point, though, there are a couple of scenarios where a password may be requested. Could you please provide us with the exact message that appears in the password prompt? This will let us know what password it is asking for, and then how to address it.
Cheers!
You have either a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro, but not a MacBook.
