I am having trouble getting it to boot.

When I turn it on it shows the following message:

"Your device has failed verification and may not work properly

To learn more, visit: motorola.com/unlockbootloader

Id: N/A

Your device will boot in 5 seconds"

I have tried rebooting it by holding down the power button + volume down key to get to the boot options which I can do successfully. None of the options there work. Except for Power Off. Any other option I select it goes back to that screen with the error message.

These are the details of the phone if that helps:

AF Fastboot Flash Node (Secure)
BL: BC.12 (sha-0b9dae9. 2018-06-26 17:22:23)
Baseband: (not found)
Product/Variant: montana XT1797 32GB P3
Serial Number: ZY322N9D97
CPU: MSM8937
eMMC: 32GB SKHYNIX HBG4a2 RV=08 PV=A5 FV-00000000000000A5
DRAM: 3GB SKHYNIX LP3 DIE=8Gb M5=06 M6=04 M7=00 M8=5F
Console (NULL): null
Tools Mode Config: DISABLED
Battery Low
oem _locked
Connect USB Data Cable

I have it plugged it at the moment charging. I went to that address in the error message and it warns UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER COULD IMPACT YOUR DEVICE (which means it could brick the phone so I won't be doing that). Is there another way to restore the phone to factory settings? I have already used the function on the phone to do that when I factory reset it. But that doesn't work. This was when I could boot the phone and load the OS.
Its been sitting in a draw for about 2 years now. I go to turn it on to make sure it still works and this is the dilemma its stuck in.

This is the model of the phone and details:

Mine is the montana XT1797 variant which isn't listed on there but I'm guessing it has the same base functionality?
 
Since it says oem_locked I think what happened is your bootloader was unlocked at some point and someone tried to lock it back up.
