Tom,

I had a computer that showed that symbol and it meant it was “locked.” ?Had to go to the Apple Store, show a receipt of purchase, etc. to get it unlocked.?

You can call Apple support. They should be able to help you.

Also it is possible to connect the locked computer to another computer and have it show up as a hard drive on the second computer. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the steps to do this.?

If ?-R, ?-?-R and ?-?-?-R at startup all fail it’s often because the machine can’t get on a network. In that case, I’d beg, borrow, or steal an external boot up disk.

Problem was Mac didn’t communicate with keyboard. Plugged one in and got into disk utility. Had to partition had to extended as high Sierra doesn’t work with apfs.. sadly Apple help didn’t know that
