If the lost device is a Mac, then if is it still turned on and has internet access, iCloud will tell it to reboot. (If it is offline, it will lock up next time it comes online; if it never comes online again, you are unavoidably out of luck.)


Before rebooting, however, your Mac will reconfigure its boot-time firmware so that instead of loading OS X directly, you’ll start at a pre-boot prompt asking for a four or six-digit code:


The code is a so-called “system lock PIN,” and you choose it when you activate Lost Mode.


While you’re at the Lost Mode lock screen, you can’t activate the usual boot-time options to access your Mac via other means.


So you can’t reboot from USB, or mount the disk in Target Mode from another Mac over a FireWire or Thunderbolt connector.


If I posted a link to that it would be removed as it mentions workarounds. :(
