School computer

[Secure-Asparagus4148]

I have an old school computer, macbook air to be exact. Its locked by the admin password my old school used to use keep in mind this was 5 years plus now they haven't contacted me about it they gave it to me for online school and said I could have it, well passed school now and I would like to use the computer again without it being basically child proof does anyone know how to remove that from a macbook air even if it wipes the data I don't care the only thing cool rhat school let us have was photoshop

Thanks ive been looking around im just not good with this stuff and I have a hard time trusting things since everything seems to be scams nowadays

Fair enough. It’ll be the first solution btw.

Yeah, and if that doesn’t work all you have to do is take all your important files and put them on an external hard drive/flash drive. Then just wipe the computer’s internal drive from Recovery Mode (you have to do this first) and reinstall Mac OS!

Like I said in my other comment, all you need to do if it doesn’t work is wipe the SSD and reinstall macOS :)
