Installing Endeavour on Secure Boot (Can't Disable It)

General system EndeavourOS installation
1

Hey everybody,

I am trying to install endeavouros onto a secure boot system that can not have secure boot disabled. The reason I can not disable secure boot is because I forgot the bios password like a dummy. I have succesfuly launched the ISO installation and ran it, but cannot enter the installed system (which is expected)

Is there a way I could install endeavouros onto this system?

You could maybe try and reset BIOS (and password) by removing the CMOS battery for about 10min.
It might work ,it might not. Depends on your PC model I guess

@noahdotpy Welcome to the forum

I have never tried this before, but https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot may help you.

In case you can’t reset the bios and/or install Endeavour on secure boot, openSUSE Tumbleweed is a another great rolling distro that supports it.

reset the password and try again. Arch / Arch based will not install on Secure boot as Arch doesn’t support secure boot out of the box.
