My MacBook Pro account is locked

Macbook pro, I'd entered my password wrong too many times, now I know the password (reset it in icloud from my iphone) but I still get 'your account is locked' on my macbook.

Hello,


To fix this problem, restart your Mac, and then do the following

  1. Hold down "Command + R" for Intel or the touch ID key for Mac Processor until you see the recovery screen.
  2. Go to Utilities>Terminal
  3. Type "resetpassword"
  4. Follow the prompt
  5. Restart

Hope this helps!
