  1. I cannot properly reset my PC


    My laptop did not open task manager and Windows Defender etc. Speed of laptop was normal. I suspected a malware infected my laptop. I tried to reset my laptop to remove the malware. I followed the following steps. Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC>Remove everything > Data erasure On(if you want to recycle, donate or sell this PC) . Then it started to reset and after sometime suddenly stopped and a screen appeared (a picture of which is attached).I cannot properly reset my PC [​IMG] It shows " Your PC has been reset, but we couldn't remove all of your personal files. If you plan to give away or recycle this PC, try resetting it again"

    Has it removed all malware or I have to reset it again?

    Please suggest the solution for this.

    :)

    resetting the pc

    Hi,

    There is a possibility that this is due to software corruption. To properly isolate the issue, kindly verify the following:

    • Have you performed Reset this PC option?
    • Did you encounter any error messages?
    • Any recent changes made on the computer prior to the issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done to fix the issue?
    We're looking forward to your response.

    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".
