Hello there,

It happened for me on MacBook Pro, the process is simple.

Turn off your Macbook and again while turning on keep pressing the power button until it goes to the recovery page, then that page choose Macintosh HD and it will ask you password, put the current password and it's done. Without recovering the laptop exit the recovery mode and restart normally.

Thank you but it didn’t work for me. It shows my Apple ID as ****icloud.com. Won’t allow me to add the ‘@‘ sign. I finally reached a screen where I could get safari, but now I’m too tired to continue tonight. Lol. Will try again tomorrow after work. Again I thank you for your response as I did get to Safari. When I rebooted, it went back to the beginning not accepting my passcode. Goodness!
