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?

Password attempts MacBook I have been locked out from my MacBook Air, how many attempts are there, I was told there was unlimited from the technician at the Apple Store but when I checked the website there is a limited number. So confused I’m so used to putting in the same password. I had not even changed it
