macbook pro disabled and won't allow me to enter password

My Macbook Pro is disabled for 60 minutes, but after the 60 minutes it doesn't allow me to enter my password and just re disables for another 60 minutes. I tried restarting but it starts back at 60 minutes again. Help please!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

I had the same problem on my iMac after I locked my iMac with 4-digit iCloud PIN.

The solution in my case was to make "Internet Recovery" (Apple Support gave me this solution):


1. Power off your Mac

2. Power on and hold Command-Alt-R buttons

3. Mac boot with EFI PIN lock (padlock icon with bar)

4. Enter your 4-digit iCloud PIN or your Apple ID password and press Enter

5. Internet Recovery process can take about 10-15 min then Mac will boot normally.


If not, call Apple Support for help 🙂


No data lost was in my case of Internet Recovery
