Trying to access BIOS via F10 on bootup but it is asking for a BIOS Admin Password.
I have never accessed the BIOS on this Laptop I got as a gift on Black Friday 2022.
I have tried 123456, 12345, 000000, password, Password, Admin, admin, 1234567890, 0123456789....
Nothing works. Been truing to disable Secure Boot so I can boot from a USB for Ubuntu.
When I try via Windows 11 Recovery Restart and select the USB to boot from and it reboot I get:
Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation Something has gone seriously wrong: SBAT self-check failed: Security Policy
I keep reading from different places to turn off Secure Boot
