Locked MacBook Pro

I changed the password for my MacBook Pro and now it won’t accept the 4 digit code to unlock it. HELP! This is my first Mac (former PC user) AND I’m nearly 70, so I need all the help I can get. Thanks

It’s not a “Firmware” password.. just the 4 digit security code


System lock PIN code



Your Mac asks for a PIN code when it has been remotely locked using Find My. Enter the four-digit or six-digit passcode to continue.
