Did you use your Apple ID credentials to access this Mac laptop? This message is indicating that your Apple ID is locked, and the more you try entering what you think the correct password is, the retry periods will just get longer and longer, until you will be completely locked out.


At this point, you need to contact Apple Support directly. To do so, go here: Get Support
