apocryphal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'forged' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'a rellie adopts call to get rogue computer' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'call' could be 'cry' (as in a bird's call) and 'cry' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apocryphal that I've seen before include "Fabulous" , "probably made-up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
