Reset Password Failed: There was an error communicating with iCloud

While trying to reset the forgotten MacBookAir password through the Terminal option (once started the recovery mode with power button + Command button + R), I get subject error although there is full WiFi connectivity.

Thanking you in advance for any assistance on resolving this error.

I tried resetting the WiFi and also another network, but I receive same error.


In the terminal window I see the following messages from KeyRecoveryAssistant:

AOSKit WARN: Missing Alford BTM

Next pane: from <KRASignInViewController: …>

Next pane: to <KRARecoveryKeyViewController: …>

Preparing for iCloud Recovery…

PCS Setup error: Error Domain=EscrowServiceErrorDomain Code 102 “SRP Authentication error”


Thanking you in advance for any tip.
