The feasible way as per him which appears to be useful apart from the entire drive being wiped away securely as well as in preventing admin to copy or access his data, would be to delete a few softwares such as LastPass, Dropbox etc.

After the deletion, then the data folders associated to that can be erased securely. He ended his statement with a question in regards to the fact if there was a way without gaining access to the confidential data that is stored on the laptop, can still go ahead and gain access to the laptop.

As recognized by Don unfortunately there is no way out. A separate account can be created, however the administrative privileges’ account is requires diagnosing and testing. The method that had been suggested by Don is said to be the right thing, Along with an SSD, if the FileVault is used from the start then it can help give the required results.

The reason behind it is due to the way the management software of SSD evenly distributes the wear so that the familiar of various parts in the drive prematurely, can be prevented easily. Instead of just logging in, a little more efforts would be taken; however everything that is needed would be available.
