Both the Late 2009 and Mid 2010 white early MacBook models
referred to as generic model MacBook A1342. (relocated topic)
What have you attempted -on startup- to get past this feature?
Safe mode? Or maybe re-start into macOS Recovery?
To be certain the MacBook has quit; press & hold power button
15 seconds or so. Try Safe mode on restart; may take 20 minutes+.
Good luck & happy computing!

{..On the other hand, the official replacement install/restore DVDs
will be harder to get - and Apple does not stock nor supply them..}
A search of ebay, amazon, and other sources may yield replacement
disc installers such as they are; or last version retail DVD newer than
those, & rarer than hens teeth? ~ Part numbers help in search.

to see if you could use Internet Recovery; without takeapart
and check to see IF later system(s) are downloadable, into
your old Mac. ~ This is why a 'Time Machine' backup is good.]
