How do i Manualy reset a laptop to Factory settings?

and when i say Manualy that means opening it up . should i remove the CPU battery for a while then try it? I cant access the computer cause there is a password request as soon as the laptop is activated. So i cant even get into setup. its my friends computer and he took it to a "computer repair" shop and i think they added a delayed password on it

    go to the manufactures support website and ask the geeks there,,, you could download the manual for the model you have and read that... all question appertaining to your system should always be to and from the manufactures that way you will alway get the right answers to your questions

    Never open up a laptop if you have not got a systems diagram on how to strip it down...

  • Yes you could try that but I doubt it will work, just try takeing out the motherboard and keep it out for about a day and then just put it back in and tweak it a bit and there you go! :)
