See the following Apple articles:

If you forgot your Mac login password

If you can't unlock settings in System Preferences

If you can't unlock settings in System Preferences - Apple Support

 

Contact Apple support for help, -> Get Support (apple.com)

You have to show proof of ownership of your product, provide all documentation showing your purchase of the device.

If you do not have additional proof of ownership, contact the reseller. They may be able to provide the original purchase document.

Once Apple receive your proof of ownership, Apple will further review your request and provide an update.
