Hello everyone,
I have a MacBook Pro 2017 A1706 that shows a padlock (EFI firmware password) when I try to start it.
I’m the legitimate owner — the device is linked to my Apple ID, and I can sign in to it.
Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten the EFI password and can’t boot into macOS or Recovery mode.
what should I do?
Thanks,
Ibrahim

Forgot EFI (Firmware) password, but I’m the owner and have Apple ID — how to unlock?
