The ones and zeroes you mention should be the same MAC address you got previously, but in binary instead of hexadecimal. It is customary to express the MAC address in hexadecimal, but there is no (technical) reason that forbids to express it in several other ways.

A MAC address consists of 6 bytes, which can be expressed as 12 hexadecimal digits, or as 48 bits.

Check whether you have 48 digits (ones and zeroes). If yes, it probably is the correct MAC address, which you can then convert to hexadecimal.

This may be too much trouble (I suspect the file Sergey mentioned is simpler to use), but I hope to at least help clarify what is going on.
