Access denied problem

[crankedup5]

Switching over to my used reconditioned Apple Laptop I find I am unable to access the forums. Tried new passwords to no avail, still access denied. I am using my old barely alive Apple ipad to get this message across, no access issues with this.

Can you provide some more information on the issue you're experiencing please? Can you provide a screenshot of the error you're seeing and at what point?

Is it an ex-work laptop?

Perhaps it's still under MDM and needs removing from their system.

Try accessing through a VPN to see if that is the issue.

I’m worse than useless using any tech now days. See if my son can help resolve. Again I’m using my old ipad atm Seems something is amiss in my new reconditioned Apple laptop which I purchased online from a large retailer outfit.

Go to somewhere like here and then to pistonheads.

Does it allow acces that way?

Where did you purchase the reconditioned laptop from?

Online, or a local store?

I'm still betting that it has simply been wiped and the OS reinstalled.

Does Little Snitch still exist. You could see what traffic is trying to connect to.

I've almost given up. I'm locked out of my old account.

I'm starting to think am I persona non grata.

Is it fully up to date with software patches?

Thanks again for input, as I’m hopeless at this stuff I will ask my son to have a look next time I see him.
