That is the firmware passcode lock. Without the firmware passcode, you can't to anything at all with that Mac.

There is no way around that.

How did you end up in this place?

You can have Apple unlock it for you IF you have proof of purchase. Without it there's nothing you can do. Where did you purchase it?
