Beta 2 came out yesterday and I decided to try and install it on my 16" MBP.
When I chose to reboot after downloading and starting the installation, it booted me into the Recovery Assistant with the Activation Lock screen.
It asks for my AppleID and password, no problem.
BUT, it then tells me "This Mac is linked to a different Apple ID"!
I have 3 possible Apple ID's that this Mac could be linked to, I tried ALL 3 and ALL 3 give me that same message.
I called tech support this morning and was instructed to go into iCloud, find my, and "remove from account" this Mac.
I did so for all 3 of my accounts, but still get the same message after rebooting the system.
I even went to my "main" account, remotely locked the Mac (which worked) - and then unlocked it - BUT I STILL get that same message!
I'd rather not have to go through the "alternative" process that tech support offered which is to submit my information to them, wait for 4 or 5 days, and have them manually fix whatever is broken in their system. This also involves WIPING the system - which I'd really rather not do.
Has anyone else come across this issue?
Did you get it fixed?
If so, how?
Help! I just wanna run Big Sur!
