Unable to restart Mac and getting error "Failed to activate device"

This is a disgrace. Brand new MacBook... Bricked. No comments from Apple so far even though several people are having the same issue.

I don't know. This might be my last Mac if Apple doesn't fix this ASAP.

I have the same problem

Me too, I bought a new macbook air m3 a week ago and got it when I reset the settings, vpn does not help, apple, what should we do?!

Hi,

You need to input your Apple ID and its password to unlock activate your MacBook Pro.

Erase your Mac and reset it to factory settings – Apple Support (AU)
