When MAC address filtering is enabled, the access point will only allow computers to connect if they have the correct MAC address. So, you must change your MAC address to a MAC address that the access point finds acceptable. To change your MAC address, use a tool like macchanger or ifconfig. For example if you are using interface wlan0 and you want to change your MAC address to 00:11:22:33:44:55, do this:
But as stated earlier, not just any MAC address will work. So how do you figure out which MAC address to use? To do this you can use a tool like kismet or airodump-ng to see which clients are associated(connected) with the access point. For example, if the access point you are after has BSSID 00:00:00:00:00:00, do this:
In the client section(the bottom section) of airodump-ng, you will see a list of stations(computers) that are associated with the access point. Now you have a list of MAC addresses that the AP finds acceptable. Changing your MAC address to match the MAC address of one of these stations should allow you to log on to the access point. Good Luck.

Code:
ifconfig wlan0 down
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 up
