Locked Mac with Find My iPhone app

So I used the "find my iPhone app" to lock my MacBook Air and it says the code is incorrect that I entered on the app. I am 100% sure of the code I typed in but it isn't working. How can I fix this?

the lock screen you are seeing is not the Find my phone remote lock screen but the firmware password screen. Preventing unauthorised access to Start up options. Restart normally and see what happens.
If you get the same message, boot with the options key again and choose Recovery 10.9. Once booted open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions and Disk.
Restart.
Failing this you could be looking at booting again and reinstalling OS X either from a Time Machine backup or a fresh install.

  • I have remote locked my mac using find my iPhone app via my iPad - I am unable to enter the unlock code as the mac keyboard won't pair with the mac - I guess that will teach me for playing...any ideas?

  • I lock my mac with find my iphone feature! now i forgot the 4 digits code

    hi
    I lock my mac with find my iphone feature! now i forgot the 4 digits code and i can't access to the computer.
    the fact is that someone stole my Mac about 1 and a half years ago! so the day after i realise my mac wasn't in the my house i immediately blocked by find my iphone with the hope to find but i didn't get nothing, then after 1 year i received a message telling my that my Mac was successfully blocked and my mac used to call "Kevin Gr. MacBook air" and the message i got from apple said that "Dou MacBook air" was successfully blocked. that time i realised who was the one who stole my Mac a "friend" :/ he was the only one that i know that uses that nickname for everything! well i didn't did much because i wasn't that sure that he stole it! but one day in a party in his house well not a party but all friends hanging out, they decided to go to the disco so i said that i was very tired and i managed to stay at his home, so when they left the house i decided to search for my thing, and after 30 min of searching i finally found all the things they stole :/ and my mac was there!   so I immediately took all my thing and left the house! i called him telling him that i found all my things and ill took them home! he was stunned for a moment and then he said sorry for everything, but all that things he was going to buy! but he knew it was our stolen stuffs and blah blah blah
    well now i wanted to open my computer and its locked with the 4 digits code that i put a year ago and i don't remember, there is a way to unlock it? or i just need to reinstall the OS!
    thank you and sorry for my english.

    You need to download the free Find my iPhone application from the App Store.

  • I've lost my iPhone5 like 40 hours ago. I already turned the Lost mode on with Find my iphone app. But my phone has no data plan so it could not connect to the internet at all. I reported to the police, too. What else can I do? Can anybody advise?

    No...see the link I posted:
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
    Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

    Only if you walk around and look for it/ask others if they have seen it.

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it.  Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.  Note:  The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
    If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

    i lost my phone and it is switched off now...how can i find my phone with find my iphone app active thru icloud?? pls help me.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • I've lost my iPod Touch. Should I erase everything off of it? And if I do, would I still be able to locate it with 'Find my iPhone' app?

    I've lost my iPod Touch. Should I erase everything off of it? And if I do, would I still be able to locate it with 'Find my iPhone' app?

    If you want to track it, then put it in Lost Mode. If you erase it then you can't track it.

  • Mac Locked through the Find my iPhone app having issues with unlock

    I was testing out the Find my iPhone app and locked my 2013 MacBook Air running OSX Yosemite thinking that it would just lock the computer and show a pretty message or something. Unfortunately that's not quite what happened.
    When I turn on the MacBook and hold down the option key it asks for the 4-digit pin I made when I locked it. (I know what the pin is). If I don't hold down the option key then it just skips to the message in the 3rd image.
    Once the pin is entered it asks to select which partition to boot up. I select Macintosh HD. (My Windows 7 partition seems to be working fine.)
    Then the Apple logo appears with a gray background (something I would expect from Mavericks) and this message pops up momentarily before the MacBook shuts down. It doesn't show up long enough for me to select any of the options.
    Has as anyone else had this problem and is there a solution available?

    the lock screen you are seeing is not the Find my phone remote lock screen but the firmware password screen. Preventing unauthorised access to Start up options. Restart normally and see what happens.
    If you get the same message, boot with the options key again and choose Recovery 10.9. Once booted open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions and Disk.

  • Can someone sell my iphone after I wiped it with find my iphone app?

    Lost my phone, wanted to know if someone can use my iphone after I erased and locked it with the Find My Iphone App???

    Unless you deleted it from your Apple ID account the phone will remain locked to your Apple ID, so unless someone who has your phone knows your Apple ID and password the phone is useless to them.

  • Pending: Lock, Message in Find My iPhone App

    My iPad was lost or stolen yesterday. I have tried tracking it on the Find My iPhone app but, of course, it is not connected to WiFi so it cannot be located. So I decided to lock it and enter a contact message if it is found. After submitting, I see that it says Pending: Lock, Message , I'm not exactly sure what this means or why it would be pending? Any help with this subject? Oh and also, is there anyway that this app could not work if the iPad is reset? Just curious. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! =]

    Okay, good, that sounds good to me. Thanks a lot!
    Do you know if this will still work if they attempt to try and restore that iPad? Or will they not even be able to restore it?
