Not on machines using the Atmel chip. You either have to let Apple
read and decrypt the data on it, or replace the chip yourself. Or,
feed "Atmel bios chip" into the search engine of your choice, and
find someone willing to do it for you.
Anyway, I'd expect this includes most all of the Intel-based Macs.

I will try to look at this later (don't have a password protected
machine available right now).
