Hi ,
I upgrade to OS maverick and is required 4 digit lock pin which I don't have it,what should I do with it?please advice ,thanks
 
What do you mean by a 4 digit lock PIN? You sure it's not asking for your login password for the machine itself?
 
4 digit or 6-digit PIN makes no sense on OS X, but is that actually on iOS 7, and not OS X ?
Tell us which Mac you have, please …
And, can you explain exactly when that PIN is required?
Is that a user login (which also shows your account name), or is it a simple blank line, with a padlock on one end?
Finally, why do you believe you are limited to only 4 characters?

Would it be possible to rather boot in Target Disk Mode?

Nope... this has the same effect as an EFI password that prevents the boot source from changing.

The process in the thread DeltaMac linked can work on pre-2011 models where the EFI lock could be cleared by removing a stick of RAM, but if OP has a 2011 or newer machine a visit to the Apple Store (along with proof of ownership) is going to be required.

OP's machine has been locked down with a remote Find my Mac command.

Ah I see, I figured I would ask in case it ever happened to me.
