Any way to extract files from a locked Macbook using only any of these available tools?:
Surface Pro 3, USB Drives, SD Cards and just in case a Netgear Nighthawk 1900 router.
Trying to extract an iOS backup file. Haven't used Mac much, mainly Ubuntu and Windows. Also, I can't find a way to create a bootable Ubuntu Mac USB Drive without using a Mac to partition the drive into a Mac readable format. I could VM OSX if need be, but would rather not go through that much work.
Yes, return it to the rightful owner

Give it back, James
Holding CMD+R when the computer boots up, then use recovery mode to copy over the files from the internal hard drive to an external one. You can also reset the password there if you like by literally typing "resetpassword" in the terminal.

It's mine. Well, it is now anyway. Previous renters left it in my house a few months back after they bailed on me overnight and trashed half my house. My goal is to extract our text conversation. When I moved from iPhone to Pixel, I forgot to transfer the thread. Have since wiped and sold that iPhone so extraction of any possible backup is my only hope.

Come on...no way.

You must've been a fucking bad landlord for someone to do that to you.
