My macbook pro which is linked to my appleid and find my account is locked by activation lock. Hello there, i purchased a macbook pro 2020 before 2 years, on year 2021. I purchased it from a local electronics dealer in the region where there is no apple support. At that time I attached my appleid to the device and i also activated find my for the device. I can still see the device on my appleid device list and also i can see it in find my devices list. The problem is before a week i found an update notification in the setting and i go for it. Immediately it shows activation lock. I tried to activate and login using my device password but it shows password error and password unacceptable due to multiple error message. I am sure the password is correct. Then I tried to use appleid and the big problem showed up. It shows b*****@yahoo.fr which is totally new for me. I imagine it is previous owners email id. I don't know the original owner and the local dealer also can't trace him/her. Even I can't see the full email address to communicate. I tried to fill apple support how ever it requires proof of ownership which shows only purchase only from supported region. I have a receipt for my purchase from my local electronics dealer but it is not helping. My questions is 1. Can a device linked to multiple appleid and find my account at the same time? 2. Considering my condition what is the solution? Thank you in advance.

This Apple ID is not active I was using my MacBook and suddenly it said I need to sign in again. After I entered the correct password, it said "This Apple ID is not active." I went to iforgot.apple.com, hoping I could reset the password and get my account back. But it still showed that "This Apple ID is not active." So I entered my name to find my Apple ID. It said "No Apple ID found." But I'm very sure that I entered all the information correctly. And I did create that Apple ID (2 days ago). Then, I tried to sign out the current Apple ID and wanted to create a new Apple ID. And it requested me to turn off Find My Mac. When I entered the password, it was still deemed that "This Apple ID is not active." Right now I can neither sign in nor sign out my Apple ID. (I am asking now with my another Apple ID account.) It is frustrating. Please help me.
