I am trying to reset my MacBook Pro running macOS Tahoe. All the steps are fine until I get to Find My... I am asked to provide a password for the old AppleID email address that I used to use. I have not used that email address for more than two years. I am unable to go beyond this step.
For some reason I cannot find the post?? I do remember the steps, however.
Before commencing with the reset:
That seemed to work. I was then able to reset my MacBook and get past the request for my old AppleID email address.
Hope it helps.

Thank you. I managed to do some further research and found a post by Limneos (I think that was the name) who suggested some steps that one could perform before starting the process of resetting the Mac. Worked perfectly. Phew! Thanks once again.
