Troubleshooting Locked Mac:


A. Reset the Mac Password:

Seems you need to change the password. As for which password, it would be the password you use it to log in to your computer.


B. Where to Reset it:

Reset it using the login screen. You'd go through your Apple ID 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.
