Locked out of my MacBook Air.

After three years of happy use, I'm locked out of my MacBook Air. It is demanding a six-digit system lock PIN code, which I absolutely do not know. I went into iCloud with my Apple ID and the machine was not locked by the iCloud's Find My Apple. What do I do?

Hi,

Six-digit system lock PIN code is sent to other devices such as iPad, iPhone, iPod and other Mac.

The Macbook code would have been sent to my iPhone? When! How? Where do I look for it?

As soon as you are required to input 6-digit code to your MacBook Air.
