Windows 10: How to disable secure boot

While setting up my new desktop, I did not setup a password since setup asked for MSN account password. Windows update later installed the latest version of windows. When the computer restarted, it recognizes me but wants a pin or password--which I don't have. It doesn't go any further. Even selecting Forgot password doesn't work. It goes to Just a moment which goes on forever and then goes to a black page. Can I disable Secure boot to get into windows and fix the problem and then re-enable secure boot? I can get into the bios and boot menu.

Cannot Disable Secure Boot

In BIOS, there is an option to disable/enable Secure Boot.

Whenever I disable it then go to boot windows, it tries and fails to boot about 5 times, then goes to a windows screen saying something along the lines of 'Cannot load windows, restart or troubleshoot'.

Troubleshooting does not work, nor does restarting.

When I switch from UEFI to Legacy in boot list options, it simply says that there was no OS detected.

Is there a tool or something that I can use to disable it instead?

TL;DR: Cannot Disable Secure Boot because if I do I cannot boot to windows.

Hello
These are the instructions I received from the engineers at Asus regarding disabling secure boot. I can do so by clearing keys but that is not advised. I want to use various Linux distros which require that secure boot be disabled. My new board is Asus Tuf z390 Gaming Plus Wifi.
Their directions below did not disable secure boot either. If you have any ideas I would appreciate them. The builder said he felt enabling CSM as Asus did should have disabled secure boot too.

>>BIOS -> Boot -> CSM (Compatibility Support Module) -> Launch CSM -> Enabled

1. Boot mode -> UEFI and Legacy
2. Boot from Network -> Legacy (old drives); or UEFI mode (for NVME/SSD drives)
3. Boot from Storage -> Legacy (old drives); or UEFI mode (for NVME/SSD drives)
4. Boot from PCIE/PCI -> Legacy (old drives); or UEFI mode (for NVME/SSD drives)
5. Go back to Boot -> Secure Boot -> OS Type -> Windows UEFI Mode (Windows 10/8.1/8) and Other OS (for Windows 7)<<

 

Cannot Disable Secure Boot

Yes, I am following the steps there exactly.

The person in this thread (https://www.dell.com/community/Alie...ure-Boot-on-Aurora-R5-Windows-10/td-p/5629825) seems to be having the same problem as me, but there are no working solutions on that thread.

EDIT: I managed to solve it.

You can boot into windows without Secure Boot by disabling the option under it, forgot what it was but it was something about Legacy something something.
