Environment

Use Syscfg utility

Description

I'd like to clear the installed UEFI secure boot keys, which requires entering Setup Mode.

Under Boot Maintenance Manager, under secure boot, all I can do is enable or disable secure boot. I'm using the KeyTool.efi (part of efitools) and I can verify that the board is in User Mode, which doesn't allow me to clear the PK.

Is there a way to do this from the BIOS? (maybe a different BIOS version?) Can I do this somehow by modifying SPI flash directly? I have access to the board and tools to read/write SPI flash.

Resolution
  • Intel does not recommend end users to enter set up mode directly as it is highly sensitive
  • Use Syscfg utility.
