I recently returned a MacBook Air to the seller, as it was actually stolen property and afterwards it was returned to the seller, then given back to the owner. (A school district.)
Earlier today, I got the message that a new device was able to use my mac for FaceTime and iMessage. I have since changed my passport as "Rew's MacBook" is not mine. The device was a MacBook air. I have two factor authorization enabled but this did not go through when they registered their device on my account.
My password was rather complex, and therefore unless deliberate tampering/hacking was involved would NOT be accidentally guessed. So I'm wondering if the account was still tied to the MacBook when I reset it. Is this possible?

I have reset the apple password and removed the device. My concern is that they've been able to access things such as my photos, my music, my messages, my e-mails, etc.

How legitimate is this concern if they didn't know my apple password? I'm a bit worried.
Thanks for any help.
