MacBook Air Lock Screen locked
I can not remember my code to unlock my Mac. I know have to wait 3 hours to try again. I tried iCloud.com/ find but when I follow the steps to locate the device, there is no UNLOCK feature. What do I do?

Do you have a password hint or recovery key set? Both of these can be used to get back in.
If not, you can use your Apple ID to reset all the passwords on the device, including the admin one. See below:
Don't worry, there are ways to regain access to your MacBook Air even if you can't try your password for a while. Here are your options:
Important Note: These methods require you to know the password for an administrator account on your MacBook Air. If you don't have another administrator account or forgot its password, you might need to erase your entire disk and reinstall macOS. This is a last resort, so try the password reset methods first.
