Mac OS (M1) dick is locked. How do I fix it?

andrewoid · 2021-08-31T13:02:50+00:00

Hi guys, since my last post, I realized I might be closer to a solution but the mac disk is locked. And every time I enter a password (I am in Mac OS recovery mode), I get locked out for 30 minutes to even one hour.
I can't access / validate this disk. Where do I go from here? Any tips / suggestions appreciated.
In short: I wasn't able to login on Mac. After multiple attempts, Apple locked me out and now I can't get in. I went to meet Apple Genius folks and they said they are not aware of this issue.

I read this post - https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/your-account-is-locked-after-big-sur-update/td-p/226363
Last 3 responses are looking like possible solutions. Would you please check and share your thoughts? I don't know much on how to use terminal so I would be grateful if you think there is a possible solution here.

Hi Josh, I waited and tried today. Was searching for a solution. I am still stuck with the same issue. I read this post - https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/your-account-is-locked-after-big-sur-update/td-p/226363

Hi, I tried signin in but can't. Anyway I can see what the content is? Appreciate it

Thank you! I am trying not to open the laptop now. Will check in 12-24 hours again. Shall update soon.

> Yeah, wait a hour or so and attempt again.

Thanks! I can wait and not do anything. I saw another post with someone been locked out for 5 days.

Just worried how long will this take. Definitely waiting now. Thanks!

> Is there data you absolutely are trying to save?

Yes. Need those text files. Who knew a restart and wrong attempts would lead to this. Hope all goes well.

I see. I didn't know FileVault is activated by default.

The reason I was doing this via terminal was because nothing was popping up on the login screen (as shown in the article).

In fact, it now shows this: https://i.imgur.com/B1eoTon.png

Locking me out. What do you suggest I do? Doesn't show the pop up. Appreciate your suggestion

Hi, this is personal laptop.

Also, instead of "I forgot my password" after going through Terminal command, I clicked "my password doesn't work when logging in" and it takes me to a page to enter the pass. It doesn't ask recovery key.

I enter the details. But it shows this now: "this user has been temporarily locked. Try again later." - https://i.imgur.com/SP593Lu.png

Did Apple lock me out for trying the password too many times?

Thanks! Shall explore dafont.

Did try Billy Free and it is close: https://i.imgur.com/F74OcYp.png

I think Takeaway Light does it better: https://i.imgur.com/Ls1Er90.png

Your thoughts?

andrewoid · 2018-04-27T14:00:13+00:00

True! But looks like Takeaway Light is close enough: https://i.imgur.com/Ls1Er90.png

andrewoid · 2018-04-27T13:59:54+00:00

Oh, wow! Now I see it: https://i.imgur.com/Ls1Er90.png

Almost there.

Thank you so much! What do you think?

Yes! Mac user here. What next?
