Click on that to go to the UEFI interface for your computer. The option to disable Secure Boot should be in that interface. The most common solution is to get a USB version of what you want to boot from.

Also, there is another way to go into it on most machines, for instance on Lenovo laptops can use the OneKey Recovery button in Off state to go into the firmware settings. Asus Desktop motherboards also have a button to directly go there. A friend found another way to boot from a non-UEFI drive. This prevented the machine for using it as a boot drive, so the BIOS looked for another eligible device in the list, apparently settled on the SSD, and booted from it OK. He can still access the GPT drive for data storage from within Windows 7.
Wow—must have done something wrong! Totally messed up now. Made the change as noted to disable UEFI and tried to reboot. Now says no operating system, nothing. Cannot get beyond DOS type msg with f2 or f no operating system. On some of the recent Asus motherboards I encountered a few features that can make your life more difficult. To make the computer boot faster, the BIOS had a default setting of only allowing a USB keyboard to be acknowledged in the boot procedure. Every other type of USB device just would not be recognized until after Windows was booted completely.
I was already familiar with the discussed procedures in this clearly written post that will help many, I have no doubt. Until I found out about that BIOS option that might shave milliseconds of the boot procedure at best, my system remained dead in the water.
Forgot my password to sign in, Windows 8. Tried many things over past 24 hours. Created several usb flash drives from several online sources…, none worked. Found your site and tried the above solution.
Still, no boot even though I disabled secure boot and set usb flash as priority 1 in boot order. So far, online, no help, Lenovo, no help, Microsoft account. Seems like I have no options left. Any further suggestions?
If you have your Windows login tied to an Microsoft account Hotmail. I tried options at account. Initially, they indicated an up to 24 hour wait. Chat specialist directed me back to same options and I tried them again, with same result. Chat specialist said if not 24 hours, then maybe 72 hours. This would be disasterous. Seems like I have the classic Catch 22 here. This is taking security a bit too far when I have to try to hack into my own computer.
Every other online account provides a simple solution for a forgotten password. Obviously, this is not a priority for them. This is crazy! I need to get Ubuntu on my Lenovo Erazer desktop since I basically wanted the power of a gaming system to run my research code on.
It might be safer to do that for the Erazer system since this is a pre-built system with warranty issues.

Hi, i had same problem with HP Pavillion g6 notebook. Hoping to be a help to someone. I was just wondering… You are all talking about booting from a cd and going to bios to change the boot order.
In my case though Samsung laptop, windows 8 the laptop starts up, Samsung logo appears, and the laptop restarts after about 2 seconds. Though it appears to be a bad board or hard drive, this happened before and by pressing the F buttons chaotically, a couple times it has actually booted up. Systems often respond this way when the RAM is faulty or has come loose in its slot. I am trying to reinstall windows 8 on a dell desktop and it kept going to start up repair.
