Likely the recoil starter is kaput. Removing spark plug so there's no compression, then pull starter. If it's still hard pull, remove recoil starter assembly and spin engine by hand. If engine spins freely, replace recoil start.

See if your rope pulley is opening up and allowing rope to double over on itself.When this happens the rope will wedge in pulley causing it to pull hard.

make sure unit is not flooded. some units may be hard to pull because they dont have a relief for the compression.

Most small engine shops and big box stores like home depot sell generic replacement starter rope. If you want the exact part from Husqvarna, there are 2 engine variations for the 125BT. The rope for the AC57 enigne is part# 531009567, the rope for the AC55 engine is part#531009653.

Without getting to involved with it, did you always mix the correct fuel/oil ratio? or has someone else possibly put straight gas in it without oil? Another possibility is that the recoil could be broke. I would try to determine if the piston is seized in the cylinder. First remove the spark plug and try to pull the starter rope while listening closely for any strange noises from the engine. If it pulls fine then, replace the spark plug and try to start it again. If that doesn't work then I would remove the back cover and remove the muffler so you can look at the cylinder. You will need a phillips screwdriver and a set of metric allen wrenches. Hope that helps.
the fuel filter is blocked up check inside the feed tank for a few leafs floating about and blockages
run the unit from a can of petrol to rule out a fuel feed issue
