The password is it asking for is the one you use to log in to that Mac. It may or may not be the same password you use for your Apple ID, but only you would know that.


First please review Reset your Mac login password - Apple Support.


If your Mac has locked your account following too many failed login attempts, and your Apple ID is also locked, then follow these instructions: If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support.


Be advised the following may be applicable: If you see an 'Unable to sign you in to your Apple ID' message - Apple Support.
