This is a VirtualBox forum. Where does VirtualBox come into this question? - Because I'm not aware that VirtualBox implements a password protected EFI BIOS.

Kindly inform your teacher that VirtualBox does not support passwords in the BIOS or the EFI.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
