Hello,

My computer is registered to me. Its on my account. I want to fresh install a new copy of windows on my pc. but it wants my uefi password. I did this a few years ago, and cannot remember what it is. can you please unlock it for me by asking security info on my account?

Best,

Nick

    Sorry, no one in the forum or Microsoft official support can reset a UEFI password. Some customers have elected to pursue an out of warranty exchange when they've encountered this issue. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/how-to-get-service-or-repair-for-surface-b06da716-0763-65b3-e2f2-116d9e30f877
