It relies on recovery tools, not Configurator. Remiks reports: Apple Support shared this alternative to their published steps Paraphrasing answer (thanks Remiks - your writeup got me unstuck!). I can still bring up the Force Quit dialog, and adjust brightness/etc using the Touch Bar. So, wall of text finished: has anyone run into this, or have any advice on debugging? If there was a hardware issue, doesn't it seem more likely that we'd run into different set of problems each time? That is, erasing the hard drive and restarting the entire process results in the same errors. I would write the whole thing off as a glitch, but it is 100% reproducible (on this machine, at least - I am afraid to try my existing machine for the moment). (The iCloud password works perfectly fine on another machine.)
If during the setup process I signed into iCloud (I have tried with and without signing in), I am given the option to reset the account password using my iCloud account - but this does not work, it shakes a bit as if the iCloud password is wrong.
The accounts that I tried to create using the setup assistant are all listed, but I am unable to log into any of them - seems the password might be set to something other than what I specified. If I forcibly shut down the machine at this point and reboot, I am greeted with a normal login menu - e.g. If I change the full and short names and try again, the same thing occurs. It asks me to try again - if I try to use the same short or full account name, it complains that the short or full name is in use and to select something else. It eventually reports that creating the account failed, with no further information. No matter what information I enter here, the setup assistant freezes for 5-10 minutes. Reformatting done, I selected "Reinstall macOS Big Sur." This progressed normally, and I was eventually greeted with setup assistant, asking me to select a language.Įverything works normally, up until I reach the "Create a computer account" dialog. I booted into recovery mode and navigated to disk utility, click my Macintosh HD entry, erase, then erase volume group. I wanted to do a clean install on my shiny new M1 MacBook Pro, running macOS 11.1.
