How to add my Macbook Pro to my Apple Devices after I had deleted it from my Apple devices

A couple of days ago I deleted my MacBook Pro from my Apple devices account. Now, I'm trying to log in to my MacBook pro but I forgot the password and when it asks for my account and password it won't log me in.

How can I reset my MacBook Pro even if I lose everything?

or How can I add my MacBook pro back on my Apple devices account thru icloud or ??

Thank you.
