Help with reinstalling macOS catalina on 2012 mac mini from sonoma

Hi, I have a late 2012 mac mini running opencore sonoma, however I have no wifi on it or gpu acceleration due to the root patch having errors of update pending and I had reverrted rootpatch after meaning I cant simply get wifi or gpu acceleration back sue to the error, I have no ethernet so thats not an option, my question is, I have Icloud on it but I cant take it off nor do I know the password as my brother has it and hes away, so If I somehow reset it will it ask for apple id? and also I dont have efi firmware pass aswell, gemini told me that going to internet recovery will give u the wifi regardless or not having the rootpatch installed so will it? And if so then how do I wipe the drive? And what do I format or erase it to? And uh do I need a usb to install catalina and whats the process with that? Sorry im not really used to using macs therefore I dont really know what im doing if anyone knows please answer, thanks
