Hello,
My MacBook Pro 2016 with Touch Bar had been stuck on a black screen showing only a lock pad.
i believe that is the firmware login screen. I didn’t forget my password but whenever I restart the Mac that screen appears and when I enter my code and press enter, it freezes. This started after in closed the Mac to go to work but didn’t turn it off.
Had this happened to anybody else? What’s the issue and how to fix it please ?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0
