storage encryption apfs data-recovery motherboard

                          I had to replace the motherboard on a MacBook Pro 2015 A1502. It was running on encrypted APFS. When I try to mount the partition in Recovery Mode, it doesn't accept the password. I'm thinking it might be because the motherboard contains a hardware component for the encryption key. 

So does that mean that due to the motherboard being replaced this data is now lost? 

Are there any recovery options?
