My macbooks keyboard and mouse wasn’t working so I took it upon myself to try and erase it from my phone which I have done with other stuff before. After that it took me to recovery assistant and keeps saying “failed to create activation request” every time I enter my password. I already removed the device from Find My app. What do I do?

For keyboard and mouse on the Intel Mac—

Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)

Find My for your missing Mac..

How do I unlock my Mac?

After you locate your Mac, you can unlock it with your passcode on iCloud.com. (https://www.icloud.com) .Make sure to use the passcode that you created when you locked it with Find My, not your device passcode.

Here's how to see the passcode that you used to lock your Mac:

Sign in to icloud.com/find.  (https://www.icloud.com/find)

Select your Mac from the Devices menu. 

Select Unlock. After you follow the steps to verify your identity, you'll see the passcode that you need to unlock your Mac.

You can look up your passcode for a limited time. 

If you forget your passcode or can't verify your identity to see it, take your Mac to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (https://locate.apple.com/?apt_Flag=true) along with your proof of purchase.
