Since there was (stil holds true) virtually no information about the SCBO contents, this aroused my curiosity but I never followed up until now. There are videos (in Portuguese but you can watch the whole process) of people claiming this works, and even some claims about an universal SCBO that unlocks multiple Macs.
Things got more interesting when I found a website that allegedly sold the SCBO files – just send them the necessary hash (more on this later), pay USD100, and get a working SCBO file in return. Since I don’t have the original sales receipt of this specific Mac, I assume this option isn’t possible, since anyone with a stolen Mac could get the password reset. The normal process workflow is to first contact Apple support. My preliminary research found references to a “magical” SCBO file that could be loaded onto a USB flash drive and booted to remove the password. My original goal when I started poking around Apple’s EFI implementation was to find a way to reset a MacBook’s firmware password.
