I have a 13” MacBook Pro retina (late 2013) and recently water damaged it. I need the data on the hard drive. Can I use the OWC enclosure ( [linked product missing or disabled: IF107-148-1] ) to connect the SSD to another Mac and pull out the files? I had password for the old Mac. Will that matter when I plug the enclosure and try to read the files? Thank you!
You got the right idea! Mount the SSD up in the case, connect to a Mac which is running the same version of macOS your’s did or newer. If this is a replacement system, use Migration Assistant to copy-off your stuff to the new system.
