Buying a used 2019 Mac Pro that is password locked

Hello,

I recall that Macs need to be logged out prior to selling. But I see a 2019 Mac Pro that I am interested in, but it is password locked. Can I buy it and bring it to Apple and have them unlock it under warranty? Any other options?


Thank you!

The original owner needs to properly prepare the Mac for resale.
