Thanks plutomaniac, I've been sleeping on the job again it seems You are correct, funny thing is I had it correct at the end, but not in the middle of my comment
I've edit my post for anyone looking later, thanks

Hey, I had gotten a UEFI locked system from Microsoft and I have found out about this just after the warranty expired, The problem is that I am unable to turn off the Surface UEFI password and access the boot configuration lock (thankfully I have USB #1 on boot priority) so I can still boot from it, however secure boot is turned on causing all of my Windows and Ubuntu installations to fail. I really do not want to disassemble this computer, and I can't afford another one. PLEASE HELP

Hi Mate,
I have the Surface pro 2 and I am trying to make a fresh install. I don't know what's wrong but I tried to use the USB boot for the recovery drive created from MS website. It doesn't force the USB boot if I follow the volume + power button procedure. Not sure if the volume buttom is working either. It just keeps coming back to the screenshot that I have attached. Not sure if the FW/bios is correct. Your support will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
