On Linux one of the absolute worst-case options to nuke a TPM and start
over is to use the sysfs PPI interface to the TPM:
Issue a clear request like:
echo 5 > /sys/class/tpm/tpm0/ppi/request
and reboot.  You then confirm that you really do want the BIOS to wipe the
TPM and it's done.  If something has set auths and you don't know what it
is, this a pretty decent last resort if you've got the support.
