With physical access, root access is as simple as setting init=/bin/bash in the kernel parameters from a bootloader. No need for credentials or anything.

Secure boot and disk enryption are not that unusual nowdays

  • Secure boot doesn't provide security, just control for device manufacturers.

    Physical access always means the device is pwned. You can install a keylogger or something similar.
