I understand you purchased a MacBook from your friend, but he forgot basically everything required to use it. Is that correct?


That Mac cannot be used in its present condition. If you have its original invoice and a chain of custody such as a bill of sale unequivocally proving that you are now its legitimate owner, then Apple will be able to unlock it.
