Can you get to the daughter board with out tearing down the whole mac?

Hi Dan,
I have a Mac Pro 2013 that I want to do a clean install on the but the Mac is EFI locked.
I have read that the only way to get the code is through Apple and you have to have the receipt which I do not have.
I've been in touch with a guy who can create a Matt card but I need to access the round PCB (daughter board) as there is a small socket which will house the Matt card. The Matt card will somehow bypass the EFI code. I've managed to access the board by following steps 1 and 2 and 10 and 11, it says that the two screws that are on top are t7 but they're actually t10.

Getting to the daughter board was simple and straight forward.

Can you explain what you mean by daughter board? Can you tell us what the problem is. The more you can explain, the better we can answer.

Have you spoken to the original owner of the system? He should be able to give you the hardware password to you can unlock the system. If you can't get that you got a stolen system! I would get your money back.
