I was given a Mac Mini at work. It's brand new out of the box, but when I turned it On it asked be for credentials, instead of going through the steps described in the small manual that came with it. I googled how to reset root password, created Apple ID from another PC, and was able to login.
The Mac mini Late 2014 retains the model number identifier of A1347, but is distinguished by the EMC number 2840.
But I think what happened is that we probably got a demo unit that was on display in a store. In this case I'd rather reformat my Mac to the factory defaults. However, when I try to install OS X from the recovery mode it did not accept my Apple ID as OS was not purchased using it. So, now I'm afraid to format the computer as Im afraid I will not be able to install OS on it afterwards.
What should I do?
Mac Mini Model A1347
Mac Mini Server A1347
We're all Windows based firm, this is a new project that client required a Mac for. And I cannot get any help in house even from admins as they don't know Macs.
