Protect my information:


If you locked your Mac with Find-My-Mac, your information is not accessible and no one can log on except with "guest" which does not allow access to your files and does not allow ANY new files to be stored (all "Guest" files are removed on logout).


Get back my information:


Restore to a different computer from the disk-based backups (such as Time machine backups) you have been making over time.


If you have Not been making backups on a regular basis, this will be a painful and expensive lesson. Computer data is fragile, and you MUST have backups.
