I have a bootable usb drive that i cannot boot from. the laptop that I am using is quite locked down, I do not have administrator privileges, USB drives in the OS is blocked (group policy), Shift-restart dosnt work, Unknown bios password. the main C: drive is also encrypted with bitlocker. I can access an Admin cmd by forcing shutdown in boot 3 times to get into "your PC did not start correctly" and selecting CMD, i can access the bcd but when I edit it so that it SHOULD boot of of my USB it dosnt. not a clue why. the USB i am trying to boot into is Kali Linux live (so that i can crack the bitlocker password, I forgot it), its also a laptop, fairly new one also.

New machines with Windows 10 have secure boot enabled to prevent people from starting the computer by USB. If you do not have the administrator id or credentials, you will not be able to start it with USB of any kind except the Windows vendor recovery USB.
