Refer to the following passage from Mark a device as lost in Find My on Mac - Apple Support:


Unlock a Mac

When you find your lost Mac, enter the numeric passcode on the device to unlock it (the one you set up when you marked your Mac as lost).


Since you do not know that code, the next sentence applies to your concern:


If you forget your device passcode, you can recover it using Find My iPhone on iCloud.com. See Use Lost Mode in Find My iPhone in the iCloud User Guide.
