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.
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.
Thank you so much for this! I bought a laptop off of back market and was having trouble because they sent it with a default user account I’m not sure if that’s just the process for every laptop they sell. But your instructions are A1! And also I relate to your story, I started working at a dealership straight out from my divorce and it was so liberating being able to buy my 2015 Camry which I still have to this day! Such emotional attachment to that vehicle, it was the biggest accomplishment I did on my own and the one I hold dearest to my heart and mind. Bless up🙌🏾
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 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!
How do I get the Dell security manager for a Dell Latitude 3190? It has a password authentication system. I need the correct password. I tried typing the system or administrator password it doesn't work. Any ideas on how I get the right password? 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.
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 have been trying this to reset dell laptop i lost password too but for some reason even after choosing to remove everything and fully clean the drive it still says i need password to reset
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.

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?
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
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
