I'm trying to play Valorant and Vanguard is requesting for me to SecureBoot my device in order to play. When I turn on my laptop, It starts with "HP Secure Start" and turns on. It has written, In the left-down corner that pressing ESC takes you to BIOS but It doesn't. I tried pressing F10 as well but it doesn't work. In fact, I tried probably 20 different methods including disabling Secure Start via Terminal, didn't work. Whatever I'm spam pressing during boot time, It doesn't affect the startup and It just turns on my laptop normaly and displays Windows. I cannot access BIOS whatever I try.
Any tips or solutions?

Im trying to get to the bios on my HP Workstation Z420 but i cant seem to get to it, ive tried using the keys in the manual, ive tried spam pressing them, holding them and trying all other F keys but it always boots into the os instead. Iv'e tried forcing the bios to boot from the TrueNAS Linux Shell but that just tells me the Firmware is not compatible with that option.
Specs:
MB Chipset: Intel C202
CPU: Intel E5-1603
RAM:16 GB
Bios Version: Unknown
Tengo un portátil HP y la BIOS tiene contraseña. La única razón por la que quiero entrar es para cambiar el orden de arranque, limpiar y reinstalar Windows. Si limpio el disco desde la cmd, ¿mi ordenador arrancará desde el USB? ¿Es peligroso hacer eso?
I just bought a laptop through Amazon, which came with Windows 11 installed.
I want to get rid of that. I have an Ubuntu image burned onto a USB stick, but it won't boot from that by default.
When I reboot the machine, it shows no instructions for accessing the BIOS, just the stupid hp logo. I tried tapping both del and f12 repeatedly, to no avail. A quick google search suggested using f2 or f12 upon seeing the logo screen. I did try both, but to no avail.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
