Hello everyone,
my dear father passed away a year ago, leaving his 2020 Intel Macbook Air (A2179) behind. He also left notes on his passwords, which i tried when i wanted to reset the device. Apparently, i tried too often and i'm now left with a locked device, that only wants internet recovery and nothing else, saying that the password was used too often. I gave Apple a call, explaining the situation, but they refused to help.
I'm not that much of an Apple guy, but i can do some micro soldering. I read that replacing the T2 chip is an option. Others wrote that replacing the SSD is an option. While others say that Nand, T2 and PCH are matched and all of them require replacement. It's all a bit confusing and sometimes contradictory.
Checkm8 , T203 and stuff don't seem to be an option for this 2020 Intel model. Least i can say is that it got the new Bridge installed, i remember it had 16gigs of RAM, SSD size is unknown as well as the CPU.
The Interwebz is full with unlock scam and i'm not getting to a point where i want to go this or that way because of all that uncertainty.
Is there any definitve truth in this maze of information? Do i have a brick or can i do something about that?
