How to remove an inactive Apple ID from a Mac when I forgot password?

Hello, i have a Mac A1466 EMC2925 with an inactive Apple ID, the way to reactivate it with iForgot password requieres communication on that same account but this is the only device with this Apple Id.


Is there anyway to remove an inactive AppleID? I have the mail and password.

If your Apple Account is locked, not active, or disabled


Suggest you read ALL the details from the above link


Below is only an excerpt and not the full instruction


If you see one of the following messages, your Apple Account locked automatically to protect your security and you can’t sign in and use any Apple services:


  • “This Apple Account has been disabled for security reasons
  • “You can’t sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons
  • ”This Apple Account has been locked for security reasons


This might happen if you or someone else might have entered your password or other account information incorrectly too many times. To regain access, you need to reset your password.
