i dint lock it locked itself

That usually means there is an internal drive fault, and seeing the drive locked is not the real problem - that is just a symptom (i.e. effect) of the real (internal drive fault) problem. IMHO I see no sensible (especially remote) DIY resolution for you, and you will need to use the services of a suitably experienced DR company.

IMHO = in my humble opinion
DIY = do it yourself (i.e. options for fixing the problem yourself)
DR = data recovery (at least in this context, that is how this acronym is usually to be interpreted)

In short: I believe there is nothing that you can do to fix your problem, based on your description of the situation. The (paid for) services of an experienced data recovery company will be required.

Do NOT erase the drive if you want data, you WILL NOT be able to recover after that.

Vulcan is correct, there is NOTHING you can do to fix it yourself.

Either send to a professional or live without your data.

Simples.
