I need my MacBook Air factory reset so my nephew can use it for his own. Please help! This is ridiculous! I have sold my MacBook Air to my nephew for college. I have forgotten my iCloud username AND password, now my nephew can’t even reset the MacBook. Please help me solve this! I want him to do the best he can in college.

Why is this "ridiculous"?
Would you want any purchaser, thief, finder, etc. to have access to your computer and its data?

Re: “This is ridiculous!”
You might not think so if the device was full of YOUR personal info and had been stolen from you.
