MacBook Pro M1 stuck midway through re-start

I just got a new MacBook Pro M1. After installing some extensions I restarted my computer. It is stuck midway through. I see the Apple logo and progress bar which hasn't moved in the last 8 hours.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Mac Mini M1 won't start properly? I just tried to start up my new Mac Mini M1 for the first time. After pressing on/off button I can hear startup chime and colorfull screen appears (photos below). Two gray icons recycle continuously on screen and nothing else happends, no matter what I do. Seems like I should turn on some switch to be able to continue but there is no switches in Mac Mini! Also those odd, small magenta dots at the left side of icons keep popping up and disappearing as icons recycle. Some kind of error? I have reseted the computer several times, connected and disconnected all accessories but nothing seem to help.

Hi tryingtoteachdistancelearning,

We see your Mac isn't currently booting up completely. Use these steps to Start up your Mac in safe mode. Then restart the Mac again to boot normally.

Take care!
