Cannot Get Past the Accept Terms and Conditions Page Agree Button is Greyed Out Upon Setting Up My Mac for the First time

[Sossity]

I have just set up and powered up my new mac mini 2018 for the first time, I booted it up, and it was on a grey screen for a few moments, then I got greeted with singing into my Apple account with my ID and password. I entered this information, got prompted for a code, since I have 2 step verification on. I gave it the code, and I am now stuck on the terms and conditions page, the agree button is greyed out, and now I cannot move foreward and setting up my mac.

scroll all the way through the terms? sometimes you have to do that before the button is able to be clicked

Edit, found a work around from this article; https://mrmacintosh.com/cant-accept-icloud-terms-after-macos-install-agree-button-greyed-out/.

I got the same problem.
This workaround is not working in my case. When I press back, the computer restarts and i'm stuck again doing the same.
Anyone else got a solution?

what I had to do when installing a fresh and time mahcne Catalina was by pass all iCloud settings
until the program was ready to use,
then go through some tedious security and log ins on both a Mac mini and MacBook Pro form 2012.
Catalina is prone for security issues being way to strict and a pain to set up.

that was the last version of macOS I installed and last week I installed five versions.
Monterey was a lot easier than Catalina.

I hope this helped.

what are we uploading from?
the previous firmware might need to be current and updated.
I know this sounds vague, but that stops rebooting
