Suggestions for preparing MBP for being sent for repair?

[kat.hayes]

I have a MacBook Pro with a dead screen. I was able to connect it to a Studio Display to copy all of my files off of and delete them. I have an appointment with the Apple Store, and I am guessing that the Mac will need to be sent somewhere for the screen replacement. Unfortunately, this is a work Mac and I do not have admin access to it, so I can not wipe it before dropping it off. What would you do in this case before dropping it off?
1. log out of my iCloud account and have it remove all of my personal calendar, Messages (synched to the cloud), photos?
2. log out of all of my Mail accounts? How can I delete all of my email from Mail without it actually deleting everything from my other devices?
3. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

"How can I delete all of my email from Mail without it actually deleting everything from my other devices?"

Normally I would say "delete your user account".
But -- if you don't have administrative access -- not sure you can do this (probably not).

Aside from doing the stuff you mentioned in "step 1" above, if you don't have administrative access, you've probably "done all that you can".

You can create another Administrator account. All my systems have an Admin account for recovery.
Back up your system data using CCClone or similar. This will allow quick recovery via Migration Wizard when you get your system back. CCC has a trial period if you do not own it. BTW, you should.
Log out of iCloud and delete your user and files from the other Admin account. This will disable Find My... locking.
Set up the Admin account for automatic login. Also, add the password on a sticky label below your keyboard.
This will reduce the time spent with the guru.
Good luck.

"You can create another Administrator account"

The problem is that the OP doesn't HAVE "an administrator account" on this particular Mac.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe a "regular" user can create a new account with administrative privileges, WITHOUT using the password and authorization FROM an already-established administrative account.

I could be wrong.
