About Activation Lock on Apple Vision Pro
On Apple Vision Pro, you can turn on Find My to protect your device with Activation Lock – a feature designed to prevent other people from using your Vision Pro if it’s ever lost or stolen.
How Activation Lock works on Apple Vision Pro
Activation Lock will help you keep your device secure, even if it’s ends up in the wrong hands. It helps stop anyone who isn’t you from using your device without your permission, which can improve the chances of recovering the device if you lose it.
On Apple Vision Pro, you can turn on Find My to automatically protect your device with Activation Lock.
After Activation Lock has been turned on, your Apple Account email address or phone number and password will be required before anyone can turn off Find My (to turn off Activation Lock) or erase your device.
To set up a Vision Pro that’s already protected by Activation Lock, or reset your Vision Pro, the Apple Account email address or phone number and password used during the initial setup process or the device passcode will be required to turn off Activation Lock and set up the device.
To protect your device, all you need to do is keep Find My turned on and remember your Apple Account email address or phone number and password.

Check for Activation Lock before buying Apple Vision Pro
Before you buy Apple Vision Pro or another Apple device from someone other than Apple, make sure the device has been erased and isn’t linked to the previous owner’s Apple Account and protected by Activation Lock.
If Vision Pro is protected by Activation Lock, a screen will appear when you try to set up the device that says “Apple Vision Pro Locked to Owner”. To continue the setup, you’ll need to enter the Apple Account and password used during the initial setup process to continue. This screen will appear several steps into the setup process, so you should try to set up the Vision Pro before taking ownership of the device to confirm it isn’t protected by Activation Lock.
Don’t take ownership of a used Vision Pro device if it’s still protected by Activation Lock.
