Help im having trouble with my Macbook Pro

Hey I was on Facebook then my laptop froze so I rebooted by holding down the power button , but after I turned it back on it had instead of the "User accounts" popping up it gave me four options
1.Restore from time machine backup
2.Reinstall Mac OS X
3.Get help online
4.Disk utility

I chose reinstall Mac OS X but it says the Recovery Hd is Locked and it won't let me do anything.....then I tried to time machine backup but it could not find a backup source some one help please

Run the Disk Utility and Verify/Repair the disk then Verify/Repair Disk Permissions.

It would help us to help you if you gave us some additional info:

MacBook Pro - year, model

Version of OS X you're running.

Quick tip: If you're running Lion or Mountain Lion, boot to your recovery partition and use Disk Utility from there. Hold down your command and r keys at the same time as soon as you hear the boot sound. Choose Disk Utility, do a verify and repair on the hard drive.

the year model is around 2010 i believe and could you please explain the advice you just gave me im not to bright when it comes to technology

I tried that but a messaged popped up saying "Macintosh HD is damaged please backup data then restore" now what do I do?

you need to replace your HDD. I would recommend finding someone in your area who works on Macs or go to the Apple Store and talk with them, since you said you were not tech savvy.

Oh im very sorry it didnt say it was damaged it said this "Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files." is this still the same as being damaged?

In my experience (near 17 years), it is the start of the HDD going bad. 100% all the time, no. I still stand by what I said above about seeking hands-on help with someone who can more easily troubleshoot the issue. Definitely back up as much as you can.
