I had to set a temporary password for both SSDs using secure boot but now, I can't disable it. I tried to restore and revert everything, but it doesn't go away.
Here, Admin y User Password only display an input to set a new password.

1Password on boot and Secure Boot are two different things. Secure Boot is about how the BIOS/UEFI hands off to the OS, and does not involve a password. Open the individual drive and see if there's a password option there.– music2myearCommented Jun 17 at 22:35

How often are you disabling and enabling Secure Boot?– RamhoundCommented Jun 17 at 22:46

Most firmware will not let you get rid of a password once you have set the password. Most modern firmware passwords also can be reset.– RamhoundCommented Jun 17 at 23:18

1Are you sure that isn't a HDD/SSD password instead of a BIOS password? The CE480Y2D100 is a low priced SSD and the password request seems to be coming from that rather than your firmware. notebookcheck.net/…– Mokubai ♦Commented Jun 17 at 23:22

@Ramhound never. I just had to do it once– DaniCommented Jun 18 at 7:43

Secure Boot is a UEFI function that involves
preventing the loading of UEFI drivers or OS boot loaders that are not signed with an acceptable digital signature.
A Boot Password is a BIOS or UEFI function that
allow(s) you to restrict people from booting the computer, booting from removable devices, and changing BIOS or UEFI settings without your permission.
You are looking at a Boot Password or an HDD password, not anything related to Secure Boot. Your enabling Secure Boot did not add this password, and disabling Secure Boot will not remove this password.
The correct way to "remove" a Boot Password may vary between firmware (BIOS or UEFI) implementations, but generally involves setting the password to an empty value.
