if you are in the market for a new laptop I would recommend an ASUS due to how they are manufactured now compared to HP, Dell, Gateway, etc today. I would go with the Asus i5 20gb Ram 512 SSD drive on Amazon.

Bought a Dell laptop second hand and forgot to ask for the password, luckily there are people like you who make it easy for us tech illiterates. Worked like a charm.
Try using F8 at startup instead. If I helped you fix your device during these crazy troubling times please consider tipping me on Paypal at www.paypal.me/rubberwilbur or leave a Super Thanks above.

It may not seemed like much for anyone to hear your story, but I needed to hear your testimony to keep myself encouraged. Thanks for sharing this tutorial and your story.
@@PurpleOpinionPodcast so this process clears everything from the laptop right after complition of this process that the laptop looks like new laptop right please reply me Mr, purple onion
@@chittyblessy yes, this is going to factory reset your computer. Be careful if there is anything on there you don’t want to lose like pictures or important files.
A lot of people here are very happy because your directions worked for them. I want to try it but I didn't understand at what point I should release the "Shift" button; would mind telling, thanks.
I tried resetting (wiping it via the Shift method) my Dell Inspiron 3135 3000 Series and it said ‘There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made.’ Is there another way I could do it so it works? Thanks for your time.
I did F2 on my Dell 3135 3000 Series and it took me to a very old timey screen. From there I went to the Security setting and chose to change the System Password which I think was a mistake because now the option to change the Admin Password is greyed out. The Shift button method you said did not work. The eBay seller did not tell me what Windows it’s using though the F2 option is probably an indicator. Is there a way to do a system reset or whatever it’s called? Just wanna delete previous user’s junk to make room and then create a new account so I can play some Horizon XI (custom Final Fantasy XI Online server). Thanks for your time and any help!
Does there have to be enough power for this to work? After the first time I click reset everything it takes me to other option and reset isnt one of them
I have a big problem, I formatted my notebook dell latitude 7420 and the business or school account was active now when I install windows it asks for the security key or access with business email and I don't have it anymore. Does this mean I lost my notebook?
Everything worked the only problem I have now is a screen popped up and says a configuration change was requested to enable,activate,clear,enable and activate the tpm??
I'm attempting to do this to a DELL INSPIRION LAPTOP. I WAS GIVEN THE OPTION TO RESET. ADDITIONAL SPACE IS NEEDED ON THE DRIVE WHERE WINDOWS IS INSTALLED FREE UP SOME SPACE AND TRY AGAIN APPEARS

I've gone through those steps and my desktop Dell computer just sits on 37% complete for hours and hours and been over 12 hours and still no progress. Can you tell me if something is wrong?
So my Dell Latitude is a secondhand bought, and I followed through, however, instead of giving the option of fully cleaning the drive I’m faced with a recovery key the previous owner did not give me and I'm not sure what to do or bypass that. Can anyone help me? 1:45
That doesn’t help dig up my old pc haven’t used in over 7 years got a lot of memory from files and photos in there this is the worst way to reset a password..no
