Frozen out of my MacBook Pro [View all]

Just today I cannot open my Mac with my passcode. Haven’t contacted Apple yet.. just wondered if the recent large hacking could be responsible — I read that they have frozen a million devices. My phone and IPad not affected - they open with fingerprint, facial recognition. Anyone else experiencing this?
