Apple service center is quite far from my place and they will take atleast 2-3 days to come back. I would not get that much time. Is there any other way to get back to my login screen. Infact earlier when I would go to recovery mode. I will simply switch off my MacBook and switch it on again it was showing me logon screen only but this time it is showing padlock every time I put it on
