Unlocking my Mac note book

Hi I bought a ma note book from a friend or a friend. When I bought it it was unlocked was working and I didn’t use it for a good few months because I was helping care for my dad and when I went to open my laptop it was lock. I use my password I made when I bought it and it didn’t work also I try to contact the person I got it from and was unable. What can I do am so check it wasn’t stolen or anything. I don’t have my laptop at the moment it’s with my son who is bringing it back to me I’m at my dads taking care of him I’ll have it here tomorrow.
