I have a FileVault encrypted disk partition on the internal SSD of my Monterey M1 MacBook Pro.
I entered the wrong password too many times and now when trying to mount an encrypted drive in Disk Utility I'm getting the following message:
> This disk cannot be unlocked
Trying using terminal I get:
diskutil apfs unlockvolume disk3s7 -user disk
But I get the following error:
> Too many recent unlock attempts; unlocking disabled
I was previously being timed out after too many wrong password attempts. Any idea how I can unlock and mount this disk?
