My screen is showing a lock and password box. I don’t know what password it wants and it doesn’t respond to anything I have tried. Anybody know anything about this?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5
a screen showing a lock and a password field indicates a firmware password is set up on the mac. that means you can ONLY start the mac with the designated start-up disk. it needs the password you made when you set it up.
please see this article: Set a firmware password on your Mac - Apple Support
if you've forgotten that password, see the last paragraph in the above apple support article.

My screen went to what I was told is a firmware lock, how can I get it back to the log in screen?
