    If the BIOS/UEFI password on your Microsoft Surface Go 2 was created by a previous owner, there is no official way to bypass or reset it easily. Surface devices are designed with strong security, so the UEFI password cannot normally be removed without the correct password or proof of ownership.

    Contact the seller and ask for the UEFI/BIOS password.

    On a Surface device, a BIOS/UEFI password set by a previous owner cannot be removed or reset by Microsoft or by software tools.

    For a second‑hand Surface Go 2 with a locked UEFI:

    1. Contact the seller
      • Only the person or organization that set the UEFI password can remove it.
      • Ask the seller to provide the password or to remove it for you.
    2. Understand Microsoft’s limitations
      • Microsoft cannot reset or bypass UEFI/BIOS passwords on Surface devices.
      • For older or no‑longer‑supported models, Microsoft will not offer an exchange for this condition.
    3. Service options (if the device is still supported and you can prove ownership)

    If the seller cannot provide the password and Microsoft service/exchange is not available for this device, there is no supported way to unlock the BIOS/UEFI, and the device should be returned or refunded if possible.
