    How to factory reset Dell Inspiron PC?

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to factory reset your Dell Inspiron computer.



    Ideally, the computer manufacturer does factory reset of the computer. We would like to know the version of Windows installed on the computer.



    However, if you are looking to reset the computer, you can follow the steps mentioned in the article
    Reset or reinstall Windows 10.



    If you wish to do a factory reset, I would suggest you to refer the Dell article on

    Factory reset, restore, or reinstall Microsoft Windows on a Dell computer
    .



    You may also get in touch with the computer manufacturer so that they can help you in performing factory reset.



    Note: Resetting the computer will erase all the data from the computer. It is recommended to take a backup of data before resetting the computer.




    As you have mentioned that, you forgot the administrator password. If you were using a Microsoft account, I suggest you to refer the article on
    How to reset your Microsoft account password.



    However, if you were using a Local account on the computer, refer the article on

    Reset your Windows 10 local account password
    .



    Regards,

    If I factory reset my computer will the data be lost on the same account of a different pc

    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".
