    Storage unit find surface 8 pro needs factory reset


    Found a Microsoft surface windows 8 pro in a storage unit I bought and have attempted to reset it due to not having the previous owners login. And now it keeps asking me for a bitlocker. Is there a way to completly wipe the pc and start over with out having to login to the user profile or bitlocker.

    :)

    Factory Reset for Surface Pro 3

    My first post, so be gentle!
    Just got an oldish Surface Pro 3 and I would like to do a 'factory reset'

    I'm trying to add an attachment

    If I have uploaded the disk management image correctly, there seem to be more partitions than I was expecting!
    Would anyone like to suggest what the previous owner(s) have done?
    Also where (which partition) , and how would I go about a factory reset.

    Please let me know if this post is in the wrong area and if I've broken any rules or conventions.
    Cheers
    Jack

    SURFACE PRO 3 RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS PROBLEM

    The camera caused a system freeze every time it was activated so I thought why not restore.

    • I attempted to reset my Surface Pro 3 to Factory defaults.
    • The Surface Pro made it to 1% then crashed.
    • Now it is in a reboot loop.

    I have tried several times and now it gives an "Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing" error.

    Do you have any suggestions on how to make it work again?
