Windows 10: Can't do a factory reset on my laptop because I'm not an admin.

Hello, so basically when i try to factory reset my laptop windows 10 from the shift restart button thingy it asks for a recovery key, so I use the primary micosoft account linked to my pc yes i checked and made sure it was the primary one it didn't have anything, I tried googling it and nothing really had the answer for this, the only reason i am even trying to factory reset is because i screwed around with user permissions and de admined myself even though I'm the only account, so i have no way to re admin myself because a lot of things require admin like even installing a exe so is the

Ive factory reset my computer but I can't use the mouse or the keyboard to select laugage

Hi,

A device like your keyboard and mouse is not detected during factory reset.
To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps
that can resolve your concern, we would like to ask the following questions:

• Are you performing a factory reset on a laptop or a desktop?
• Is this the first time you perform a factory reset on your device?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve your concern?

In the meantime, if you're working on a desktop, we suggest that you try to use a PS2 keyboard just to bypass the installation process. Once Windows is up and running, you may now plug your mouse and keyboard to initialize Windows to detect these devices.

We look forward to your response.

 

Reset Acer Travelmate to factory settings

Hi all, I have an Acer Travelmate with Win10 (1607), I would like to save Win 10 to a stick, then reset the laptop back to factory settings and then reinstall Win10. There is no program on the laptop that requires saving. Any advice or suggestions, not to technical, would be very much appreciated, thanks Roy
