How do you factory reset a Satellite M50 -159

Hi,
I need to factory reset the above laptop. I've looked through the forum and seen a post saying to press 0 to access this option but this doesn't work. The laptop did not come with any CDs as the factory software is on a hidden partition on the hard disk.
Any other suggestions as to how to access the factory reset options?
Thanks in advance
Michael

According to the User's Manual for your Satellite M50, it came with a "Product Recovery Disk."
Maybe I looked up the wrong computer?

How do you factory reset macbook

My friend has just bought a shop display macbook laptop from Duty Free Sales at Bristol Airport for her daughter. They put password in to prevent customers playing with it. She cannot get answer from shop as to what password is and unless she flies out again security will not let her through to the shop. How can she do a factory reset please? She doesn't have a Leopard disk
Thanks
Rick

Rick - you should get the install discs from the seller. As ypw mentioned, you can reset the password using those.
The following instructions you should use with caution, as it requires booting the computer into single user mode.
Otherwise, with the computer off you could hold down Apple Key and S and turn the computer on.
It will boot into single user mode - command prompts. You will then have to mount the disk, the instructions are provided at the last second, but it's the command fsck -y then the command mount -uw /
Once mounted, type passwd and it will ask you to enter the new password. You could also run passwd <username> (insert the username there).
By running the first option, that will enable the root account and set the password to whatever, therefore to login you would enter the username root and the password you supplied.
Be careful not to mess with much, and once you use it try to get the leopard disc and do a reinstall of the OS when you get home.

How do you factory reset the aluminum bluetooth keyboard?

When I got my new BT keyboard, I set it up on my macbook just to test it out. But its final use was with the mac mini in my living room.
I deleted the pairing from my macbook and paired it with my mini. All was working ok until a few days ago, when the keyboard light started flashing for no reason when in use, and my macbook shows that the keyboard is trying to pair with it.
Is there a way to factory reset the keyboard, so it doesn't remember any previous pairings? I know this is possible with other bluetooth devices, I just can't find how to do it with this apple keyboard.

Hello:
Try trashing the preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restarting.

Factory reset my satellite laptop

hey, i would like to factory reset my satellite x200/x205 series. it's an old computer with alot of stuff on it. i would just like to in a way start fresh with a "new" computer. i have backed up and transferred all my important files and documents already and my computer is ready for a reset. am i doing this right? if i factory reset my comp will it mess up any drivers or anything else on my comp? if so how can i fixit or update any possible drivers afte the reset? i have the toshiba recovery and applications/drivers that came with the computer for windows vista home premium 32 bit disk one and two. if i put those in and follow the prompts is this all i need for a factory reset? i also have the upgrade your windows vista experience disk that came with the computer also.

When I had so much trouble installing Windows 7 from the purchased cd, I had to do an "out of box recovery" for my laptop . Make a back up disc of everything you want to keep. I only did Windows Photo Gallery, there was nothing else of importance to backup. Then insert the Toshiba Recovery Disc that came with your computer at the time of purchase, and follow all the directions. If you do not have the Recovery Disc, call 1-800-457-7777, they can send you one, for a very small charge (?? $20.00 or so ??) Make sure you have your Internet Security and Anti-virus disc ready to install. Personally, there were less problems with the install than the download. TIP TIP TIP I use my favorites box all the time, so I wrote down every site I had listed there...that way when the out of box recovery was complete, all I had to do was go to my list (abc order) and open each page or site, then hit add to favorites. That saved me so much time !!! I also write down the passwords for each site, just so I don't have to remember them,and when you're working and trying to think...well senior moment takes on a life of it's own !!! Hope I helped

How do i factory reset

how do i factory reset

It all depends on which phone you have. If you have the LG phones, you tap on menu and then on Settings>Storage. Scroll down to Personal data and you will see Factory Reset. If you own a Motorola, you want to tap on Settings>Privacy and you will see Factory Data Reset. You know that all the information stored on your phone will be erased and you have to start all over. You have to get a Google account (unless you already have one), set up all your Email accounts, etc. Everything on your SD card should; however, not be effected. Unless you absolutely have to do a factory reset, I advise against it, especially if you downloaded a lot of apps from the store.
