I need to reinstall Linux Mint but MOK Management is preventing me from booting into the live CD. I tried looking for a solution online but (assuming I did everything correctly) I couldn’t find anything that actually worked for me. How do I properly disable it?

Also, I forgot to mention that I do have access to Linux Mint, I just have to run it in recovery mode because it wont boot normally.

Update: I was able to bypass MOK using my password, I still wasn’t able to disable it but I was at least able to boot into my Live CD for Linux Mint and I’m in the process of reinstalling it. I would prefure if I could just disable MOK but I at least know how to work around it.

Update 2: I have fully reinstalled and updated Linux Mint but for some reason everything looks different despite the fact that I’m using the same settings and software I was before everything broke. But whatever, outside of the fact that I no longer have the dual boot menu and instead I get a string of text saying “booting in insecure mode” for some reason, it seems to be working fine.

    Ok so it turns out that I got that error message because I forgot to use sudo, but it still didn’t disable MOK. However, as I stated in the update in my post, I was able to get around MOK with my password and I’m currently reinstalling Mint.
