If you forgot your firmware password for your Mac you'll need to schedule an appointment at an Apple Store to get assistance with it: Set a firmware password on your Mac - Apple Support


"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."
