I am not sure what you mean by "insalata" but if your laptop is locked and you forgot your password you might be able to reset it with your iCloud password.
If you get your password wrong a few times you might see a prompt "reset using your Apple ID" then you can just use your Apple ID sign in to get back into your laptop.
If you see "restart and show password options" you can restart and then you might have to sign in with your Apple ID and make a new password for your computer. If you set up FireVault you will need your encryption key to get back your files.

In this case log into your iCloud account and remove the device from your devices. Right now it is still associated with "find my mac" so it is activation locked. Once it is removed from there then you should be able to do the steps I mentioned in the previous post.
Hi kourasp56,
If you recently locked your Mac with Apple silicon using Find My, you'll be prompted first for your Mac login password, then your Apple ID password. Once these are provided, your Mac will activate and it will be usable again.
If you don't know your Mac login password, or if it isn't working, please let me know and I'll see if there's a way to reset it.
Sorry I don’t mean to confuse you. Here’s the screen I’m getting when I open my MacBook 14 inch computer. It’s asking me to login with my password but I forget my password and I don’t know how to fix this.
