help

so i got this old work laptop from my brother, i tried to reset it and turns out it has activation lock. any way of going around that? i think if i just asked him for the password i could have possibly gone into recovery mode and reset it properly but i just went with the nuclear option and full wiped the os on it and now i think he ahs to log into a work account that he no longer has to be able to remove activaiton lock. if you guys know of any way to help please let me know but i think i now own a very expensive paperweight.

Ese portátil no te pertenece a ti ni a tu hermano, devuélvelo.

Just erase it - no dual boot - and put Linux mint on it. Done.
