<ESC> to enter setup" appears, press and hold the <Del> or <Esc> button.
The firmware user interface opens. Here you have the following keys available for
navigation:
3. Select "Advanced" > "AMT Configuration".
4. Assign the "Enabled" value to the firmware setting "Unconfigure ME".
5. Press the button <F4> (Save & Exit) and confirm the subsequent dialogue with <Y>.
6. Switch off the device or restart the device.
7. At the next start-up, a confirmation message appears to perform the "Unconfigure ME"
operation.
If you perform this action, all values of the Intel® Management Engine BIOS Extension
(MEBx) including the MEBx password are reset to default values.
