Hi Aztown,

We see you're having issues with opening your Mac after locking it. We'd be happy to help provide any assistance we can with that.

What steps did you take to lock the device, and what are you currently seeing on the display?

If it's asking for the Admin password, and you've forgotten this, check out this link: Change or reset the password of a macOS user account

If you've instead locked it via Find My, then this page should have the steps needed to unlock it: If your Mac is lost or stolen

Take care!
