  2. how do i reset a asus laptop to factory settings?

    The process of resetting an Asus laptop to factory settings can vary depending on the model and operating system. However, here are the general steps you can follow:



    1. Back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud storage as resetting your laptop to factory settings will erase all data.
    2. Press the "F9" key repeatedly while the Asus laptop is booting up. This will take you to the recovery menu.
    3. Select "Restore factory settings" from the menu.
    4. Follow the prompts to confirm the reset process.
    5. Wait for the reset process to complete, which may take several minutes.
    6. Once the reset is complete, your Asus laptop will be restored to its original factory settings.

    Asus Laptop W10 factory reset, Don't have password

    I recently bought a used asus model e402s on craigslist and it came with the old guys details on it. Ive tried to contact him but he wont respond. I just need to factory reset it. So my problems are:

    • I dont have the password
    • I cant do a factory reset from logging in because i dont have the password
    • The laptop doesnt have a cd drive
    • im not a computer tech! lol

    TL;DR I need to reset the laptop to factory setting without a password. W10.

    Thanks for any help!

    Windows 7 Laptop - Cannot reset to factory settings

    I have been trying to reset my laptop to sell and followed instructions to reset to factory settings as below

    1. Select the category “System and Security” in the control panel.
    2. In the section “Backup and restore” you can find “Recover system settings on your computer” and then click on “Advanced recovery settings”.
    3. Then, you need to click on “Return your computer to factory condition
    I do not have the option Return your computer to factory condition in step 3

    Any ideas?

    I also have the added challenge that my keyboard does not work as I spilt water on it.

    This has taken me hours to try and resolve!!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you
