MacOS Mojave Update Bricked My 2018 MBP

Anyone else have this issue? It’s just hanging on the “iCloud - Setting up accoubt” window. Every so often it loads an error message saying to try again later. Can’t get past this screen.

If you can get into Safe Boot try deleting ~/Library/Keychains (or just moving the directory somewhere else) and then reboot.

Thanks. Frustrating to have to do this. Nothing like paying $4500 for a laptop only to have it be a pain to upgrade 2 weeks in...

I’ll have to force power off... little hesitant to do that mid-upgrade but seems like the install is done and just it jacked up my account settings.

I've had issues logging into iCloud in the past and this always seems to fix them. Good luck.

Sadly, didn’t fix it.

I was asked for my Apple password again, but then it put me back in the same spot where I’m just stuck on the iCloud window. Ugh.
