waiting for approval

Hi,

I can't restart My MacBook. it keep loading for days on waiting for approval to signing in iCloud.

I have no option to cancel or approve; also, I have access to other device with same Appl ID and iCloud but can't find how to approve or cancel.

I can see the Mac listed from my iPhone as a trusted device and can see it from find my iPhone with my appl id but, the signing in screen keep loading for ever.

may be the attached print screen will illustrate better.


MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14
