I installed openSUSE on Acer V3 571G with secure boot disabled. My sytem is qudrabooting - windows, ubuntu, fedora & openSUSE with openSUSE boot manager as default boot manager. I made openSUSE boot manager as default boot manager by following command in cmd in windows-
Code:

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\opensuse\grubx64.efi

But, yesterday after updating BIOS somehow secure boot got re-enabled. Now my laptop is not booting and is asking to register the boot manager either by using key or hash.
To register by using key I need .crt/.cer/.der certificates. EFI partition is mouted but I'm not able to find .crt/.cer/.der certificates anywhere in the EFI partition.

Now a bigger problem I've forgot my BIOS password and I won't be able to disable secure boot. Also, I won't be able be able to change my device boot order, so I won't be able to boot into a live cd either.

So I need to load a certificate for openSUSE boot manager. Is any other method left.

PS - I've initiated a complaint to reset my BIOS password at Acer.
