Can’t access the bios with secure boot on (at least I could not on an old laptop I was refurbishing, thank god the owner could login into windows)
If you have physical access you could go into the bios and turn off secure boot

That’s unusual, I think. Every computer I’ve had that had it on, I was able to turn it off when I went to install Linux.

If you enable Secure Boot you should also set a BIOS password for this very reason.

So, if you set a bios password either way, which benefit does secureboot give?

I think you can reset a bios password by taking the CMOS battery out or something?

Not sure if this works these days, but on older systems there was a reset bios config jumper and pulling the cmos battery.
