Locked out of my MacBook Pro

I’m trying to reset my password through my Apple ID account. I type in my Apple ID and password but then a window pops up with “localised string not found” and I can’t go any further. It’s been 5 years since I last used this computer so it’s running old iOS. How can I get into my Mac?

iPhone SE, iOS 11

Hey there Colinrai,


Upon researching your question, we were able to find the current methods available to reset your forgotten login password: If you forgot your Mac login password


If you continue through the steps, it leads to another link with steps to take if none of the methods to reset your login password work: If you can't reset your Mac login password Please keep in mind that the last listed step would be to contact Apple Support.


Cheers!
