Windows 10: A question about doing a factory reset.

My laptop screen is broken and i have no access to it or use of it, therefore i use a external monitor. When i use the external monitor, if something happens and i cant see anything on my monitor, i cant use anything. So my question is that if i factory reset my computer, will it show everything happening onto my monitor? or would i be blind for the entire thing? Im having issues with my computer freezing and i wanted to do a factory reset but im scared it wont connect to my monitor and it will ask me something and i simply wont be able to do anything. An answer would be appreciated, thanks

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

 

how to do a factory reset

That depends on what you mean, exactly. There are several types of reset, because nothing about a computer is obvious.

The word 'factory' in factory reset leads me to think that you want to reset your computer to the way it was when it left the factory ... the way it was when you turned it on for the first time. If that's really what you mean, the computer manufacturer has
detailed, step-by-step instructions right on their website. You just have to be sure that you're following the instructions for your particular model.

That type of factory reset, if it's what you want, has a big advantage over the resets that Microsoft offers: You have virtually nothing to do except for answering a few simple questions. No configuration decisions, no drivers to install, no Microsoft 'gotchas.'
It's real easy, even if your computer is totally messed up.
