    Oh, I assumed that you would be forced to type your password or have enough rights to install stuff in a computer, be it in person or remotely, so I assumed that whatever 3rd party program they used required to have enough access, and that apple would use the apple id as a master password, given that it’s what is being used to lock down the device itself.

    Well, yet another issue with apple lol, why add a ownership id if it’s not even what gives root access. Lmao.
