iCloud Hacked and MacBook Pro Locked – What to Do If iCloud is Hacked and MacBook Pro is Locked

icloudmacbook pro

I was away on business and on returning found my Macbook Pro at home locked out. Turns out someone hacked my Apple ID which I was able to recover but I don't know the PIN. It shows message in a weird language with email address of rumbergeraleda@yahoo.com

I have my iCloud access restored now and also have my Macbook with me so how the heck do I unlock my Macbook Pro?

I do have my Macbook backed up on Time Machine as well but I don't know if locking messes up my Time Machine backup too.

BTW, the hacker tried to lock my other macbook pro as well which I was carrying but that one is showing as lock is pending. How can I cancel that lock as well?

Based on IconDaemon's response, I removed the RAM and pressed cmd+option+P+R to reset the firmware password and rebooting back resolved this issue (since I had recovered my iCloud account and reset the password).
