See -> Activation Lock for Mac -> Activation Lock for Mac - Apple Support
⤵️
Other ways to disable Activation Lock
If your previously owned Mac shows an Activation Lock window that asks for someone else's Apple ID, the previous owner may need to remove Activation Lock for you.
You can also contact Apple support for help, -> Get Support (apple.com)
You have to show proof of ownership of your product, provide all documentation showing your purchase of the device.
If you do not have additional proof of ownership, contact the reseller. They may be able to provide the original purchase document.
Once Apple receive your proof of ownership, Apple will further review your request and provide an update.

If your Apple ID says it's inactive you need to reach out for support from Apple directly -> Get Support

Note:
Never post your Apple ID on a public forum, that's asking for trouble.
Have asked the host to remove.

Should i log in using my another device of iPhone or iPad to get that support to activate my Mac apple ID? Cause my iPhone & iPad is working smooth with another Apple ID. I cannot place any request for Mac Apple ID reactivate request in any way.
Please suggest
my apple id is inactive, instead activation lock removal will work ?
