STEPS TO REMOVE ACTIVATION LOCK ON APPLE MACBOOK AIR M2 2022
You need the serial number of the device.
You need to verify that the device's Serial Number (S/N) is actually an Apple MacBook Air M2 2022 Model.
Perform a GSX background check to get all important information of the device so you know where to submit the S/N to get the Activation Lock removed.
Go to Hammer Fusion Server. Sign in and select "Place Order". Then select "IMEI Services".
Find and select the service labeled "10-1# Apple GSX Sold By & Purchase Country + FMI + Replacement Info / Express / " - $2.59 - Delivery Time 1-15 Minutes

Enter the device's S/N and select "Place Order". Wait a few minutes for the results.
Go to the menu section of Hammer Fusion and select "Order History" Then select "Present IMEI Orders"
You can search for the results via the "Search IMEI Orders" section or scroll down to locate the order via the S/N.
Once you locate the device results, click on the "+" symbol on the left of your results to open up a bigger view (see picture below):

There seems to be allot of information but you only need a couple of items from the info above.
First, verify the device (MacBook Air M2 2022) and the check "iCloud Status". The device above is considered "Lost" (in red). The device will be either "Clean" or "Lost" That information is crucial along with verifying the device model because when you submit the device S/N to a service, there will be two separate services. One service for MacBook Air M2 2022 "Clean" device and the other service will be for MacBook Air M2 2022 "Lost" devices. If you don't run this check before you submit the device S/N or you just guess or take the customers word for it, you run the risk of getting that service rejected. Always, Always, Always verify each and every device to minimize rejections in the servers. It saves you time and money - literally!
Now that we have the required information, we need to submit the device's S/N for iCloud Removal
Most all of the servers on our list of Approved Servers List have some sort of MacBook iCloud Removals but I only use a few servers for the MacBook iCloud Unlocks and they are listed below: - Remember, stay away from the "bypass services" only use "removal"
For iCloud Lost MacBooks use Phone Style Server and Best 4 Unlock servers


For iCloud Clean MacBooks use Paid Unlock Server. They have services for most USA purchased MacBooks.

For iCloud Unlock services for MacBooks purchased outside the USA use Codes 4 Unlocker
Simply find the service that fits your results from the GSX report and submit the S/N and then select "place order" the delivery time is usually always listed under the "place order" button.
THE MACBOOK MUST BE POWERED OFF WHEN THE SERVICE IS BEING EXECUTED. If the device is on and connected to a network while the service is attempting the iCloud Removal, the S/N will be rejected and the device will remain iCloud Locked. IT IS IMPARITIVE YOU KNOW THIS AND YOU TELL THE CUSTOMER THIS. Once the service is completed you can power on the device.
If the service asks for the S/N and some additional information like: GSX + Sold By + Cases Report Info - Simply copy and paste the entire body of the results information from the GSX Report into the section the server is asking for. Some servers require additional information like the GSX report when ordering along with the Serial Number. Some only need the S/N. Again, That's why it is crucial to just go ahead and get the GSX report on each and every MacBook before you do anything. I get the report first and once i have the results, copy and paste the GSX results of the device and send it to the customer so they can be informed as well of the current status of the device. I never charge customers for the report. That cost (usually $2) can be merged in with the customer's final price.
Again, most of the servers have some sort of Apple Activation Lock Removal, weather it is for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or MacBook but the servers specifically listed above are the only servers I use for MacBook iCloud Unlock.

What is an Activation Lock or iCloud Lock?
Activation Lock is a security feature on Apple devices designed to prevent unauthorized use if the device is lost or stolen. It links a device to the user's Apple ID, requiring the owner's Apple ID and password to turn off Find My, erase the device, or reactivate it for use.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Purpose:
Activation Lock is a protective measure that ensures only the authorized owner can use the device.
How it works:
When Find My is enabled on an Apple device, Activation Lock is automatically activated. The device's Apple ID is securely stored on Apple's servers and linked to the specific device.
Security:
If a device is lost or stolen, Activation Lock prevents anyone from using it without the owner's Apple ID and password.
Restricting use:
Even if a device is factory reset, the Activation Lock will remain enabled, requiring the owner's credentials to reactivate it.
Lost/Stolen Device:
In such cases, the owner can use Find My to remotely lock the device with a custom message and/or erase it [1, 14]. The message will continue to display even after the device is erased, and Activation Lock will remain active, says Apple Support.
Used Devices:
When buying a used Apple device, it's crucial to ensure that Activation Lock is disabled before taking ownership, as it requires the previous owner's credentials to bypass.
What is an Activation Lock Removal or iCloud Unlock?
Activation Lock Removal and/or iCloud Lock is when the previous owner's Apple ID or email is removed from that specific device.
How Does Activation Lock Work?
When you sign into a device with your Apple ID or associated email address, Apple essentially pairs or links the Apple ID with the device's MAC address, Bluetooth Address and WiFi Address. Each and every time you restart or turn on your device Apple with send the device's data along with the Apple ID to Apple servers to verify and check that all featured addresses and the Apple ID match. Once Apple servers verify all data matches the device allows the user into the operating system. If anyone of those numbers/email addresses do not match OR if a owner marks the device Lost or Stolen in the Find My (FMi) app the device will lock the users/owner's Apple ID to that device via serial number and/or IMEI. The device will be "iCloud Locked" in Apple servers. The only way to remove this lock is for the owner to sign into the device via Apple ID and verify credentials.
Why are there so many scammers claiming to perform an iCloud Unlock?
Simply put, because it is the hardest service to perform or it is the hardest legit service to find or that is offered. Don't get fooled for online individuals trying to sell you access to Apple GSX servers or access to Apple Connect Servers. That is non existent anymore. Those are the servers that actually remove the owner's Apple ID from devices, removing the activation lock. You used to be able to buy access to these Apple Servers on the black market that you could enter some credentials from an Apple employee, go into the backend of those Apple Servers and remove device's Apple ID's and iCloud Unlock that way. Those days are long gone. Apple 4 years ago (around 2021) caught a few Apple Employees selling their credentials, caught onto the money making scheme and revamped the way employees sign into Apple Servers with 2 factor and 3 factor authentication as well as a second Apple employee inputting credentials. DO NOT BUY APPLE GSX OR APPLE CONNECT ACCESS OR ACCOUNTS. THAT IS 100% A SCAM (and highly illegal). The only way to remove a previous owner's Apple ID or email from an Apple Device is via the servers I have been using for years. The servers I present to you on The Unlocker website are directly linked to Apple GSX and Apple Connect servers via API. I have performed a few hundred iCloud Unlocks over the last decade. Our way is right now, honestly the only way I know how to remove Activation Lock. Again, unless you or a family member work for Apple. See our approved list of legit and verified unlock servers HERE.
