Troubleshooting a Locked Mac Account:

A. Wait it Out:

If you can't turn it off, then you'll just have to wait the time allotted.

1. See here: Passcodes and Passwords - Apple Support
2. Scroll to: How escalating time delays discourage brute-force attacks
3. Overview: the chart, based on time remaining.

B. Reset this Using the Login Screen:

You'd go through your Apple Account to perform this. Find out more here: If you Forgot your Mac Login Password - Apple Support. Make sure that caps lock is NOT enabled when typing it. No Success? Go here: If you can't Reset your Mac Login Password - Apple Support

C. Turning Off the Passcode:

You cannot completely turn off the password on a Mac, but you can set it so that you don't need to enter it every time you wake it from sleep.

1. Go to: System Settings
2. Click: Lock Screen
3. Adjust: the "Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off" option.

Activation Lock or system lock PIN code

• If your previously owned Mac shows an Activation Lock window that asks for someone else's Apple Account, the previous owner may need to remove Activation Lock for you. Learn about Activation Lock on Mac Activation Lock for Mac - Apple Support

• Your Mac might ask for a PIN code when it has been remotely locked using Find My because the owner thinks the Mac is lost or stolen. If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support Enter the four-digit or six-digit passcode to continue.
