Edit: I guess this is the slightly better answer than simply yes or no:
"If you lost your firmware password you can now reset it yourself as long the SPI flash chip is not the new BGA type (newer Macs are using them but there is a sneaky debug port that can be used for this same purpose!). You just need a device to dump the flash chip, remove the variable and reflash the modified version, or directly remove the variable (I always prefer to full dump and reflash).
Of course this information can be used by thieves selling stolen Macs, but given
that there are already defeat devices being sold all over the web, this post does not reveal any previously-unknown secrets."
