I am paranoid but I think: is my paranoia enough?... Sorry
If your MBA not iCloud locked and has no EFI password why you trying make a problem from nothing? Please do not think that somebody will search thats MBA by serial number... Although if it was stolen from the office of intelligence may well be
1. You can reset NVRAM by press-and-holding Option-Command-R-P keys during power on. Is an example:
This is the plan correct me please
1. Flash nvram
2. Wiped disk using sudo diskutil cs delete <UUID> and risk deleting recovery partion
3. Install ML via disk. To avoid internet connectivity. Will I be required to enter credentials for purchase of ML? Its the OS that was shipped with mid 2013 macs.
I'm presuming using internet recovery will require proof of purchase (enterin apple id) which I don't have.
4 OPTION A input own icloud credentials if possible and risk internet connectivity.
OPTION B Follow the steps below:
The solution is just to kill the nvram variables:
nvram -d fmm-computer-name
nvram -d fmm-mobileme-token-FMM
And in fact, you should probably just clear everything during your re-imaging process:
nvram -c
Probably unnecessary but you could also disable the LaunchDaemon which lives here:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.findmymac.plist
Or just check that the disable is active in /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd/overrides.plist:
<key>com.apple.findmymacd</key>
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>
</dict>
<key>com.apple.findmymacmessenger</key>
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>
</dict>
I think you can boot into Recovery mode by pressing and holding Option key during startup. Once you boot under Recovery mode, launch a Disk Utility and just delete encrypted partition. After you did it, create new one for clean OS installation. Close Disk Utility and start OS installation. Yosemite will download installation image in any cases.
Hi
I just bought a macbook air mid 2013. It has Yosemite on it and think the whole drive is encrypted. I'd like to format it and install a clean copy of OS X with my username and password and icloud.
Here's my scenario:-
1. It's not icloud locked. System boots to login screen
2. It has no EFI password.
3. I don't have the admin password. There is no way of resetting this since I cannot enter Single User mode (remember the whole disk is encrypted with FileVault 2)
What are my options?
I understand I can format the locked hard drive in recovery with
sudo diskutil cs list
find the UUID at the top and type
sudo diskutil cs delete <UUID>
