Hey EleftheriadisStauros,
From the screenshot you provided, it looks like this happens after choosing your user account and entering your password. If that's right, there could be a login item keeping your Mac from reaching the Desktop. To find out try starting your Mac to safe mode. Safe mode can help as it completes several tasks during start up and prevents certain software from loading. Here's a guide with more details about safe mode, how to start there, and what to do after: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
After starting to safe mode, depending on the results, you'll either continue with the steps under "If the issue continues in safe mode" or "If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode".
If that doesn't help, let us know more details:
Let us know what you find.
Take care!
Thanks for trying safe mode and getting back to us EleftheriadisStauros, it’s appreciated.
Since the progress bar stops, we recommend using the steps in this article: If your Mac starts up to an Apple logo or progress bar - Apple Support
If you’re still unable to get your Mac to turn on, please reach out to Apple Support: Get Support
All the best.
From the First Image in first posting, this is Not A Firmware Password Issue
The computer would never Boot-up to what is presented in above Picture
The Best that would be presented is in image below
Once the Firmware Password was Input correctly, then and only then would the image below be present
It doesn’t reboot into safe mode . I just boots normal . my model number is a1708 . Also I forgot to mention that when I try to boot into recovery mode or internet recovery mode it stuck a on the small Apple logo
After a lot of research I think that I have firmware password enabled . To turn it off I need to enter recovery mode that my MacBook can’t do , because when firmware password is enabled most key combinations in startup don’t work . I tried to enable verbose mode to trick my Mac in startup and enter recovery mode but this command also requires recovery mode . I remind you that I want to enter recovery mode and that’s why this discussion is happening .
macOS boot
