To unlock a Mac laptop when you have forgotten the password, you can try the following methods123:

  1. Use your Apple ID: Type the wrong password three times, select password recovery options, and sign in to your Apple ID.
  2. Touch ID: If your Mac came with a Touch ID and you set it up, you can use it to unlock your Mac.
  3. Use your Recovery Key: If you have FileVault enabled, enter the recovery key when prompted during the password reset process.
  4. Reset your password in Recovery Mode using Terminal.
  5. Erase your Mac and reinstall MacOS if nothing else works.
