MacBook Pro erase

For some reason, my MacBook Pro refused my password, so I tried do use the Apple ID three different times. I even changed my password on Apple three different times. It finally went to firmware lock. Is there a way that I can wipe out all information and reinstall my MacBook Pro as if there’s nothing there and start over thank you.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

If you forgot your firmware password


If you can't remember your firmware password, schedule an in-person service appointment with an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider ( https://locate.apple.com/?apt_Flag=true )

Bring your Mac to the appointment, and bring your original receipt or invoice as proof of purchase.
