I’m coping with an organization MacBook Professional mannequin A2918, M3 chip, made in 2023. The corporate terminated me, and I’m making an attempt to take away my private knowledge from it earlier than returning it. Nonetheless, the corporate locked me out of the machine and is refusing to let me again into it. They claimed they might wipe the machine after they obtain it, however I do not fully belief them and need to take away issues on my finish first.
At the moment after I open the laptop computer, I see “This Mac is Locked. The System PIN is required to make use of this Mac.” They’ve one other admin person account on Mac OS and have Kandji MDM software program arrange on the machine. Unsure if this display is from Kandji or one thing else.
I do have Discover My arrange on the machine beneath my person account, and I do see the machine after I log into iCloud on one other machine, so might attempt to distant erase the machine utilizing Discover My, however I am unsure if that may be efficient given the lock display I’m seeing.
Private knowledge that I need to take away contains:
- Emails saved domestically utilizing Apple Mail
- Calendar occasions saved domestically utilizing Apple Calendar
- Passwords synced domestically utilizing 1Password 6
- Recordsdata synced domestically in Google Drive for desktop
- Logins to varied companies (together with Google) in Firefox, Chrome, and Mac OS (for Apple Mail and Calendar)
- iCloud account
- Contacts
- iMessage conversations
I can distant log off from a few of these issues however am actually in search of a single “erase” choice on the OS stage if doable. What are my choices?
