The first screen shows you have a firmware password enabled. The second screens shows that you have a Mac OS, but not one that you can boot to. You need to get to recovery and first run disk utilities to repair the drive. If no errors are found ,you need to reinstall the operating system from recovery.If your Mac starts up to a circle with a line through it - Apple Support
