I own a used Lenovo Yoga S1 and am trying to switch to Kali instead of Ubuntu. The main issues are the lack of secure boot support and a password-protected BIOS. There seems to be no straightforward way to disable secure boot completely, but you might explore BIOS settings or firmware options to remove the password requirement.

Yes, I've checked for "password".

I tested every standard login such as 1234, BIOS, and PHX

Turn it off in the UEFI configuration

When you enter recovery mode on Windows and choose UEFI, it restarts using BIOS but displays a password prompt instead of the usual setup screen.

Remove the BIOS password then switch your boot drive from MBR to GPT. The discussion on forum mod @GoodBytes covered this process. After that, you can adjust your UEFI settings and turn off secure boot.
