I can’t get into recovery mode to access disk utility. What are my options here?

Well, you have asked us to guess the particulars of your Mac model.


You posted in the MacBook Pro area, so presumably that's the type of Mac you have. But even knowing that, we are asked to guess whether you have an Intel model or an M1 MacBook Pro 2020.


If yours is an Intel model:
