How do I unlock MacBook Pro without waiting 8 hours

My MacBook Pro is locked to failed login attempts, it said I needed to wait 8 hours before trying again. I’ve tried to get it to recovery mode but it just allows me to make an unlimited amount of attempts at the password. The weird part, the password is correct. How do I get passed this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

Not sure what you have tried so far, but the following would be the steps I would suggest that you take:

Contact Apple Support directly. To do so, simply select the "Support" link on the lower left-hand side of this forum's web page.
