Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, queenb65.
If I understand your post correctly, your MacBook Pro is asking for a system pin, which you don't have. I understand how important it is to be able to access your computer. I'd like to help.
It sounds like you have a firmware password:

If you forgot your firmware password

If you can't remember your firmware password or passcode, schedule an in-person service appointment with an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. Bring your Mac to the appointment, and bring your original receipt or invoice as proof of purchase.
