 We typically use Jamf to send a lock command to our MacBooks on. We have one MacBook that has the "Incorrect PIN entered too many times. Please try again in x minutes" where x = 24,321,071.

Does anyone know of a way to get past this besides waiting 46 years?



can't exactly remember.. but connect to ethernet.. ? if not powered on for a while it may have reverted date / time.. Epoc date?

@danbaver I'll 2nd @jamf-42 's connect it to a wired Ethernet port suggestion. If that doesn't help you're probably going to need to send it in to Apple for a motherboard replacement (when I worked in EDU that was the response to Macs that wouldn't take the unlock PIN, but we didn't have any that were showing the 46 year delay)


Looks like plugging in with an ethernet cord worked! Thanks to you both!
