Windows 10: Can't reset Dell laptop.

I recently reset my Dell laptop. Starts off with "Hi there" and I fill in basic information. Then I'm met with a screen that says "Why did my pc restart? There's a problem that's keeping us form geting your PC ready to use, but we think an update will help get tings working again." I follow on screen instructions to a tee restart my pc, and then am met with the same screen again, and again, and again.


It requires me to connect to a WiFi network to complete the update. however the location that I am at now does not have wifi that I can use. I also went to a location where I knew the WiFi password, connected to it, tried the update again, and had the exact same result.


I don't know what to do help please.

reset laptop password

i could not figure out what forum this should go in, so feel free to move to whatever forum it should be in.
a friend just called, and said he has 2 daughters and 2 dell laptops. his daughters have lost the password to both laptops. is there a way to reset the password without a full reformat? he said his daughters have a lot of music, pictures, ect. and wants to avoid reinstalling windows.
i know that a long time ago there was a jumper on the motherboard that would reset the password on a regular pc. is there such a jumper on a laptop? or is there any free software that would let him reset the passwords? he can not afford a dell tech to fix, and i told him i would see if there was a way to reset it without a format. thanks!
he called me from out of state and due to a bad connection i couldnt find out what model laptops they are. thanks again! sam
