Question

I set up my Mac Mini. Love it. I logged in and now my appleid says not active.

My Question is how do I log out of the "inactive AppleID without a password"?

I just want to log in using my other AppleID.

For Reference...

Troubleshooting a Locked Account:

Locked Out:

For note: You are you locked out of your Apple Account. There is no iCloud account.

So, Contact Apple Support:

Visit this Link: If your Apple ID is Locked or Disabled - Apple Support

Why Accounts Become Locked:

When your iTunes Account has been disabled, and that often happens due to suspicious activity --- Perhaps nothing on your part. They disable it for no more than Security & Privacy concerns.

Possible Reasons Could Include:

Too many unsuccessful login attempts
VPN (Virtual Private Network) usage
Consistent transactions
Session Times Out
Disobeying Terms & Conditions

Unfortunately, I still have to log out to do this. To log out I need a password. I go to apple.com go through reset password or lookup. Then it says the appleID is inactive.

I created this AppleID during set up 2 weeks ago. I do get the security warning the recovery process ends the same way.

I am stumped. Befuddled. Maybe even Dumbfounded.
