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?
