What do you mean locked out of it?


Do you mean you forgot the macOS user account login password? If so, it can be reset using the information in this Apple article:

https://support.apple.com/HT202860


Do you mean the laptop has a message of "Disabled"?


Or do you mean there is a padlock on the screen which indicates a firmware lock?


Or do you only want to perform a clean install of macOS by erasing the internal drive and destroying all data on the internal drive?
