Hey Guys, Just got my M1 MBP .. Did a time machine restore, now it wont take my password from my old MBP ... Tried everything even leaving the password blank. I also tried to restore the MBP using Cmd R Opt Cmd R and Shift CMD OPT R nothing works! It only will boot up to the start up screen with password. What am I missing here... I also tried my apple ID password nothing. I just want to restore it to factory setting now and that wont work either... Thanks in advance guys!
 
FIXED! I just found out that the new M1 machines will not work with CMD R commands... You have to hold down the power button until you get in to system restore menus!
