Reset it by, switching macbook off by pressing the power button, boot the computer holding CMD + ALT + P + R Keep holding keys down and wait until the computer beeps twice


If that does not work then off to apple store?

Hi, i just have the same problem with find my mac, i blocked my Mac from iCloud web and when i tried to power on my mac i got a gray screen with a circle with an X in the middle instead of the screen to enter the pin code, so i tried to power on and hold "alt", and when i do that a password field pops up, so i enter de pin code than i use and let me in, but, when i select the osx partition i got a gray screen with a circle with an X in the middle again, so i take a usb with windows 8.1, turned on the macbook pro, hold " alt" , chose my usb, go to windows startup and delete the recovery partition and after that i turn on again my mac and the iCloud block was gone , hope this work for you, and sorry for my bad english.
