Hi viv30n3,

Re: how do i recover my mac book

I'm no expert in this area, yet your request surely deserves a response.

We don't know which MacBook model (year) you were using with high Sierra, when you accidentally locked it.

How to: Identify your MacBook model

Maybe starting a discussion, and adding your MacBook model, will see others offer their expertise.
