  1. After factory reset with erase everything, still more than 60GB of hard is occupied


    I did factory reset my laptop which has windows10 by erasing everything but I see in Drive C, still, 62GB is occupied. when I check the Storage Setting, I see System & reserved has 31GB then Other has occupied 25.3GB space, then Apps 6.96GB, and the rest is a very small portion of the hard drive. When I click on Other, it shows me only some folders that are totally less than 2GBwhich should be 25.3 GB. in the Show hidden files I selected Show hidden files and folders, but still, nothing more is shown in Other. how can I find all files that are occupied my hard drive to delete unnecessary of them?also I did disk clean up and still nothing changed

    :)

    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".

  3. Remote erase/factory reset

    I have a Lumia 950 with a non-responsive screen. I know how to remote erase the phone. What I don't know is what happens to the phone if I do so.

    Does a remote erase, under Find my phone, start a factory reset, does it brick the phone, does it do something else?

    My goal is to perform a factory reset without touching the phone.
