Hello there, azhoago1.


It sounds like you are seeing a request for a PIN Code when restarting your mac after an OS X update. The following Knowledge Base article explains what that password is and what needs to be done to proceed:


About the screens you see when your Mac starts up


PIN code

If you lock your Mac using Find My Mac, your screen shows a four or six digit lock screen at startup. Your Mac doesn't continue starting up until you enter the code that you set.
