I had to log into my apple account for work on someone else’s Mac because my laptop was lost at the airport. I forgot to log off of that computer & I think someone has been using it.

Second-hand MacBook is suddenly locked and is asking for a 6 digit PIN code to unlock Hello. I was simply watching a video online where my MacBook suddenly froze and showed me a grey screen asking me for a 6 digit PIN code to unlock. I rebooted the computer but the screen popped up again. Looking online it seems as my MacBook was locked with Find My Mac through iCloud. The question is by who and how? I’ve had this computer for over 3 years now and purchased it with cash through a seller that I found online. The seller was selling many Apple Mac devices. I had no issues with the computer and set up my Apple ID on it. I was the only user of the computer and it works not had one account set up — mine. Now, to make things weirder I also own 2 iPhones tied to the same Apple ID, so three devices in total using the same Apple ID. I checked my iPhone and on my profile I can still see and click on my Mac as one of my devices. Another forum post suggested I use a Browser version of iCloud and check the ‘Find My’ app there. I did so but can only see my two iPhones and not my Mac. How come? If the computer is tied to my Apple ID and I can see it on my iPhone in settings, why can’t I see it on iCloud in Find My app? Can one Mac be tied to two different Apple IDs even if you are the sole user? Can a Mac be tied to one Apple ID but to a different iCloud account? Who would be able to remotely lock my computer? Thanks in advance.

How do I unlock my MacBook Air that I had lost, but now found I lost my McAir with my iPad mini on Feb16 and blocked it thru the Find MyPhone app. I recovered both now but can’t unlock the McAir [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Hi,

You'd better change Apple ID as well as password.

Did you login at iCloud.com? If so that would be your iCloud ID.

The first thing to do is change the iCloud ID password. If you change the iCloud ID you'll lose all of the purchases you've made in the App Store for your Mac and iPhone.

Next go into work and see if you can get on that Mac and sign out of your iCloud login. You may need to use the new password if you've already changed it so have both of them available to you.

Thank you. These are supposed friends but I know now they cannot be trusted.
