    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

    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".

    reset to factory settings.

    hi there everyone, the issue I'm having is ive messed with my file set up and computer set up so now I got everything everywhere and having trouble locating specific files except for the most important ones. but files from downloads are all messed up.
    I want to factory reset without losing my sim game electronic download. I already have the important files saved on a disk such as pictures and videos. if I do a windows backup will I be able to reset my computer without losing the games downloads??? also,
    due to me messing around the laptop other downloads aren't working properly or downloading properly and cannot find those files. unfortunately it takes days to download the sims game. any other suggestions will be appreciated. thanks!!!
