If it’s a company computer was it being managed by an IT department? If so, contact them for help. If not and you go to Apple for help they will require proof of ownership, meaning an original purchase receipt. Since it is a company owned computer the accounting department should have it.


Activation Lock is a theft deterrent mechanism and is not easily removed without proper credentials.
