Sadly, you won’t locate the password online. It’s intended just for you, as a person, to verify you’re authorized to add a third-party certificate into the system, not for any malicious software attempting to mimic this from the operating system. I glanced at the project instructions you shared. You’ll likely be asked for a password at https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-s...ecure-Boot when using mokutil under the "Manually Enrolling a Public Key" section. If you’ve added modules from the repo, the certificate is listed in "Using the Provided Secure Boot Certificate." However, if you built your own kernel, you’ll need to select "Use your own Key Pair." I don’t have a Surface to test, but that should give you a clear path forward.
