Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I tried to install Windows 11 Home via Bootcamp, but failed. And then i restart the macbook, now it shows lock icon screen. I tried to put in my code, but doesn't work/does nothing. Can anyone help with the issue? Thanks!
Edit : i tried all commands, command + r, command + alt + r, shift(safe mode), option(select boot mode).

Set a firmware password on your Mac
When you set a firmware password, users who don't have the password can't start up from any disk other than the designated startup disk.
This feature requires a Mac with an Intel processor. For the equivalent level of security on a Mac with Apple silicon, simply turn on FileVault. If the Mac is managed by MDM (mobile device management), MDM administrators can also remotely lock the Mac.
How to turn on a firmware password
Your Mac asks for the firmware password only when attempting to start up from a storage device other than the one selected in Startup Disk preferences, or when starting up from macOS Recovery. Enter the firmware password when you see the lock and password field:

If you forgot your firmware password
If you can't remember your firmware password, schedule an in-person service appointment with an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. Bring your Mac to the appointment, and bring your original receipt or invoice as proof of purchase.

This is the issue, i can't boot into MacOS nor continue the windows setup. I restart it bunch of times, and tried all commands (recovery mode, option, boot picker, etc). I really need the answer asap as i didn't have any pc/laptop other than this mac :).
I have try to put in my code but it does nothing.
