Without full details it's difficult to do more than guess, but if you mean that you are unable to log into the Mac because you lack the password, then it's quite possible that the Mac cannot be used by you or anyone else. You can try the steps starting with #6 in this support article:

but if it still insists on an Apple ID and password, then someone in the family needs to try to get access to the original owner's Apple Account, necessary to release the lock on that Mac.

If no one is able to get access, then that Mac is probably now useless and should just be recycled.
