    ASUS Laptop Factory Reset - Son forgot password

    And how exactly are you locked out, are you saying he forgot his user name password login or the bios password?

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

    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

    accidently forgot to make new partitions when factory resetting 311810d1608690040t-factory-reset-surface-pro-3-a-screenshot-2020-12-23-125735.png


    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
