trying to access boot order to read from a USB asked for administrator psswrd ...not accepted?

Greetings from Portugal @10:37hrs,
Hardware: Hp Pavilion desktop, 8Gib memory, i5-8400 CPU @2.8GHz x6, UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2)
I'm running with Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, 64-bit, Gnome 42.9
Windowing x11
To open Pop OS my psswrd is still being accepted
However, when trying to access boot menu (F9 @start up) I'm asked to enter administrator psswrd?
I use the same psswrd resulting in a symbol I assume to mean You are locked out/cannot access the boot menu
Surfing tinternet over the weekend I encountered someone with a similar problem. However, I didn't take to much heed at the time... duh The gist of said conversation was 'groups' in the terminal had been changed... which means nada to me! I'm a GUI dude the terminal is where a train arrives at :-)
Now, I have embarked on a self help journey...

However, I'd appreciate a 'shove' in the right direction re. my psswrd problem as the 2 links are for me a very large rabbit hole
TIA, ini
