Re: Macbook 2018 above firmware password
Thank you for the clarification. From trying to restore the system after the initial download, the only option I get is to enter the icloud email address which I don't have as this is from a third party that sold it as parts. I figured I should take a shot at trying to get it in a usable state, instead of just dismantling it for parts only. I understand the need to protect a device if lost or stolen, but this level of lockdown on a system is like a sin. Especially for tech lovers that try to repair or reuse. At least allowing...Leave a comment:

Not sure why my response went to the other post. Reposting here.

it starts out as the image on the left when I boot, then shows the second image and prompts me to connect to internet.
I found couple clips on youtube about using either paid or modifying the bios, but from reading the multiple posts here, it seems the bios method is not possible(?). If so, why did Siddig post...Leave a comment:

Re: Macbook 2018 above firmware password
Thank you for the link. From reading that thread it seems the a2179 cannot be unlocked. Just hate to waste tech like this....Leave a comment:

Re: Macbook 2018 above firmware password
I am following up on the above request. I am not clear on what is the best way around this. I have the A2179 early 2020 model, but not sure how to identify if it has the new BridgeOS or which paid solution to use. I really would like to get this McAir working again instead of just selling it off for parts. Any more advise would be really appreciated.
Thank youLeave a comment:

Re: Macbook 2018 above firmware password
This might be a newbie question, but how can I confirm if my McAir is running Old BridgeOS T2 MacBooks or newer? Or is it standard with early 2020 Air models? The system was formatted when I got it. When I turn it on it prompts me to download the OS. Afterwards it gets me to the cloudlock screen to enter email ID. With very limited menu options.
Also if paid is the only option left to me, whats the best/reliable one to use?Leave a comment:

Re: Macbook 2018 above firmware password
Thank you for the info. I have yet to open it up. I was told by one person this seems like it's an Intel macAir. I am not sure if that makes a difference. I heard the paid solutions are only temporary as newer OS might have patched those options. I saw the BIN files posted by Siddig and it contains one file for the A2179 model. I was wondering if anyone tested with this and if it worked. If not what is the purpose of those updated BIN files?Leave a comment:
