Back when I had a Chromebook I actually had to open it up and remove a screw to be able to do it.

    No Cap, I used to have an old HP Pavillion where the case had to be pried apart for servicing and there was a screw on the Battery that would keep the computer from starting unless it was put back after battery removal. They work fine without batteries, but not without the screw. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The new chromebooks need special cables to unlock, either you have the skills and supplies to build a cable and adapter board or you buy a cable from a random company that is rarely in stock
