Is there a way to use your MacBook after deleting your apple ID without logging out?

I forgot to log out of my apple ID on my MacBook before deleting the account. Now it keeps on asking to sign in. Is there a way that I can still use the MacBook with another ID?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Activation Lock for Mac - Apple Support

"Make sure that you sign out of all your devices to avoid issues with apps that use your Apple ID account or iCloud. After your account is deleted, you can't sign out of iCloud or turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock on your devices. If you forget to sign out, you might not be able to use your device when your account is deleted."


Apple can reset a device if a person can provide sufficient evidence of valid ownership. Try this online here --> https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support (Yes, apparently this does work in this situation too: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253344078?answerId=256255850022#256255850022 )
