Locked my hackintosh

Locked my hackintosh [Solved]

So... I have a bit of an interesting problem. I locked myself out of my hackintosh using iCloud Find My Mac. I was wondering whether i actually worked and locked myself out. The pin I had set to unlock my device is 0000, however when powering my computer on it asks me for a 6-digit pin. After some googling I discovered that the lock status is being stored in the nvram. I'm using clover. Problem is I can't physically clear my nvram. The CMOS battery is soldered onto the motherboard. Tried reinstalling El Capitan using a thumb drive with clover on it aswell, but before i could do anything it asks me for a 6-digit pin again. Can't access the terminal using the thumb drive either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You will need to find a way to clear NVRAM. Or use EmuVariableUefi-64.efi from now on.

There is a clear warning about not using this feature in the guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...de-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover.html

Thank you for your quick reply. I never actually read that guide, but it was just a dumb idea to begin to lock my hack.
Just solved it by reflashing my BIOS for anyone wondering, apparently that clears the nvram aswell.
