Devices are locked with your current passcode. If you have no passcode on your device, you will be prompted to create one.
Some configurations may allow for a four digit passcode lock, but require that it be more secure (for example, it can't be something like "1234"). If the new passcode lock you are attempting to apply does not adhere to the restrictions in place on your device, the passcode lock will not be changed, but your device will lock (with its existing passcode).
Only Apple retail stores or Apple Authorized Service Providers can unlock computers protected by a firmware password, such as passwords set with Find My Mac.
If you cannot remember the firmware password for your computer, schedule a service appointment with either an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make areservation at the Genius Bar (only available in some countries).
