Q: macbook pro locked without icloud

Hi, it not fun and it happened on first of april. I worked in osx Yosemite and it freezed, after restart it requires pin lock. So it looks like it was locked, but:

I never logged in icloud before and always used skip icloud setup on all devices
laptop belong to me last 2-3 years and not available in icloud for previous user, i have all documents for it
after i logged in icloud in find my devices from ipad i see that laptop is shown as locked on 2 feb.
After 2 feb i rebooted laptop many times and had no issues
email and appleid are not hacked

Other people see in "find my devices" laptops that they never locked, so it looks like a bug.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Hello KostyaSha,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

From your post I see that your computer has a firmaware lock on it. If you do not know what the firmware passcode is, then you will need to schedule an appointment with either an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

What is a firmware password and how do I set one up? - Apple Support
