See the additional info I left you on this page.   What are you using for 2018?  If you're using a paid product in 2018, that will unlock the 2017 return, if it's in the same account.    Or are you using online Free Edition for 2018?
If so, you'd need to upgrade to PLUS for 19.99 and pay by credit/debit card.  We can tell you how.  
The 2017 and 2018 returns must be in the same account.

If you used Online TurboTax in 2017, the prior-year PIN "might" be on a Federal Information Worksheet in your tax return PDF, but you'd have to get your PDF with all the worksheets to see, but there's no guarantee.

You don't need the prior-year PIN.  You can sign your efile using the 2017 AGI, but that would require getting the 2017 return, too.

If you don't want to pay to unlock your 2017 return, you can try getting a free tax return transcript from the IRS.  You may be able to immediately download a 2017 return transcript at this IRS website at the link below.  If you don't qualify to open a free IRS account there, you can order one to come by postal mail, which normally takes 5-10 calendar days.
