After erasing my Mac Mini from the “Find My” app, i forgot my password for activation lock. When logging back in to the Mac Mini, a lock is shown asking for a password. I’ve tried all the passwords I can think of and can’t get it. Is there a way around this; using my Apple ID, getting a verification email, anything?
Mac mini, macOS 12.6
