Bypassing Microsoft Bitlocker. Anonymous 05/12/2022 (Thu) 00:30:26 No. 8412
Title's exactly what it says I removed secure boot in order to install linux on my laptop but the problem is I need a security key that I wasn't provided with much if at all in order to bypass it. Does anyone know what I can do about it? Do I have to make a new microshit account? I wasn't able to refrain from having one since I wasn't given the option at all when I activated this laptop. I'm on windows ten still.
>>8412 Wait can't you just reformat the drive when you install linux?
>>10654 Might be some sort of horrible BIOS thing. I have yet to encounter a laptop that couldn't just be redone from scratch, but I wouldn't put it past them these days for the cheap stuff. Sounds like a job for looking up the model number or chipset or whatever to figure out if it's just all kinds of fucked or if there's a one weird trick.

>>8412 I've had some luck with these things. Do you want to save the data? If not, I just need a little bit more more. The model of the computer, the installed operating system and a little bit of your time. Some modern business models (Lenovo, HP, Dell) have serious BIOS guards, but it's not too hard to bypass them. In this case, I think you just have a "software" problem.
>>10684 >>10868 I was unable to repurpose the HP I stole from my old employer due to a BIOS password. Clearing CMOS didn't fix it
>>11411 I'm not them but maybe try taking it's hard drive to another computer and install whatever os with whatever drivers you might need before popping it back in. The only way I can imagine it not working is if the hdd had something on the filesystem that the secure boot would read to prevent such tampering.
