Hello darrius289.


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you forgot the passcode created when you marked your computer as lost.


"Here's how to see the passcode that you used to lock your Mac:

  1. Sign in to icloud.com/find.
  2. Select your Mac from the Devices menu.
  3. Select Unlock. After you follow the steps to verify your identity, you'll see the passcode that you need to unlock your Mac.


You can look up your passcode for a limited time. If you forget your passcode or can't verify your identity to see it, take your Mac to an Apple Authorized Service Provider along with your proof of purchase."


You'll find this and additional information linked below.


Cheers.
