Locked how....
(?) Activation Lock or system lock PIN code ?
• If your previously owned Mac shows an Activation Lock window that asks for someone else's Apple Account, the previous owner may need to remove Activation Lock for you. Learn about Activation Lock on Mac.
• Your Mac might ask for a PIN code when it has been remotely locked using Find My because the owner thinks the Mac is lost or stolen. Enter the four-digit or six-digit passcode to continue.
(?) If you forgot your firmware password
If you can't remember your firmware password, schedule an in-person service appointment with an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider ( Find Locations )
Bring your Mac to the appointment, and bring your original receipt or invoice as proof of purchase.
