How do I reset my Windows 10 computer to factory defaults?

QuestionHow do I reset my Windows 10 computer to factory defaults?
AnswerNote: This article describes resetting a Windows 10 computer to factory defaults. You can read separate articles on performing something similar in Windows 8 or Windows 7.
A system reset will remove your installed applications and rebuild the Windows 10 system files.
You can choose whether you want to keep your files or remove everything.
If you choose to keep your files, your applications will be removed, system settings will be reset, and Windows files will be rebuilt. Your data and documents will remain intact on your computer.
If you choose to remove everything, your data and documents will also be removed.
To learn what other recovery options are available to you in Windows 10, read the following article:
What recovery options are available in Windows 10?
To perform a reset, follow these steps:
Open the Start Menu and select Settings.
Select Update & security and then Recovery.
Under Reset this PC, select Get started.
Choose either Keep my files or Remove everything. If you choose to remove everything, you might be given the choice of resetting all drives and partitions or resetting only the one on which Windows is installed. Choose the option you prefer. Not everyone will see this selection.
You might also see additional options depending on whether Windows 10 came pre-installed on your computer or if you upgraded to Windows 10. Choose the options you prefer and follow the prompts to complete the reset.
You can also watch this video explaining how to do this:

Hi there,
A full factory reset may not be required. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Reset the 7961 IP phone to factory defaults

Does anyone know how to reset the 7961 IP phone to factory defaults ?

maybe this will help. I found it on the internet but haven't got a change to test is.
You can perform a factory reset of the Cisco 7940, 7941, 7960, 7961 and 7970 phone by holding down "#" as it powers up (or resets), at which point you then dial 123456789*0#. This is useful for many types of recovery, especially when the phone is so disabled that it cannot enter Network Configuration to reset to factory default.

How can I reset my web server settings to factory default without reinstalling the operating system?

I have a MacBook Air that has been upgraded over time from OS to OS. I'm currently running Yosemite.
I don't have any issues with the computer, it is running fine. Over the years, however, I've tinkered around with the server in different ways (the apache and php that shipped with OS X, MAMP, and with NGINX) and when I went to get back into some development it seems as though there's some conflicts.
What I'd love to do (assuming it is possible) is reset all of the web server's factory settings so I can just move forward from that point (Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc.).
I saw there was a terminal command for OS X Server that allows you to reset all of the server settings to how it came from the factory.
Is there a similar command that works for non-OS X Server or a utility that can restore the web server settings?

there probably is a way, but the success rate would be fairly low. you say you don't want to reinstall the OS, why? you know that reinstalling it keeps all your files and settings as they are, while resetting system files? (OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X)

Reset catalyst 3500 XL series to factory defaults

I am asuming that you do not know the enable passwords to clear the config. Please follow the URL but when you get to step 9 enter Y(es) to start the configuration script.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/switches/ps628/products_password_recovery09186a0080094184.shtml
If you do have the enable password, enter "write erase" at the enable prompt and reload unit.

Need help resetting the Surface Pro 3 Back to factory Defaults

Hey guys need some help. I have a Surface Pro 3 we were trying to image. No Luck. We have given up for now and tryingto go back to factory defaults. Luckily I made a restore USB before I did anything. Here is the problem:
Somehow we screwd up the UEFI settings and it wont even find the drive. I Keep changing the settings but everytime i go to "Reset Your PC" and repartition drives I get a "Unable to reset your PC. The system Drive cannot be found"
message.
I See no clear way of setting it back to Factory Defaults but here is the Screen BIOS/UEFI screen settings
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Enabled
(Tried Both No luck)
Secure Boot Control Disabled
(Tried Both No luck)
configure Alternate System Boot Order Network-USB- SSD
(Tried both ways no luck)
Configure External Ports -All ports enabled.

Yes you can. From CLI of Mars:
[pnadmin]$ pnreset -h
Usage: pnreset or pnreset option.
        Default. With no options pnreset restores the appliance to factory
        defaults and purges all configuration and event data (certificate and
        fingerprints stored to validate reporting devices, topology settings,
        archived logs, and the license key information).
    -h Displays this usage information.
    -g Removes the Global Controller data from a Local Controller, leaving
        the Local Controller-specific data and the Global Controller
        communication information untouched. Use this option only after
        a Global Controller crash or recovery. In this case, "pnreset -g"
        must be executed on every Local Controller that was monitored by
        the failed Global Controller.
    -s Removes the Global Controller communication information and resets
        a Local Controller to standalone mode. It removes the Global Controller
        data and connectivity data from the Local Controller as well as the
        default Controller zone information. Use this option only after
        a failed Delete of the Local Controller entry from the Global Controller
        "Local Controller Management" web page.
    -o Resets the tnsnames.ora file to factory default. The tnsnames.ora file
        is required for the Oracle client to connect to the Oracle server.
    -j Resets the web server scheduler depending on Local Controller's
        running mode. A restart of web server is enforced.
[pnadmin]$ pnreset
Reset command will erase all data in database and reboot the machine.
Please type YES if you want to proceed:
Hope this helps.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Setting aironet 1100 to factory default

I am trying to reset an aironet 1100 back to factory default. The only button on the bottom of the unit that I can see is one that says mode on it. Is their somewhere else where the factory default can be reset at. Thanks

Hello,
This should work for your situation:
Reset the APCisco IOS Software
Complete the steps in this section in order to reset Cisco IOS Software-based APs.
Note: Cisco IOS Software-based APs have a default configuration that includes a username and password combination. Both the username and password are "Cisco", which is case-sensitive. After you reset to factory defaults, be prepared to give "Cisco" as both the username and password when you are prompted by either the GUI or the command-line interface (CLI).
If the privileged command prompt ap# is available in the CLI, the write erase command and the reload command erase the startup configuration and reset the unit.
If the GUI is available, choose System Software > System Configuration. Press the Reset to Defaults button.
If neither the GUI nor the CLI is available with sufficient privileges, complete these instructions in order to use the Mode button:
Disconnect power from the AP.
Disconnect the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for inline power.
Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the AP.
Hold the MODE button until the Status LED turns amber, and then release the button.
The Status LED turns amber in approximately 1 to 2 seconds.
After the AP reboots, reconfigure the AP and use the web browser interface, the Telnet interface, or Cisco IOS Software commands.
Note: The AP is configured with the factory default values that include:
The IP address, which is set to receive an IP address with DHCP
The default username and password, "Cisco"
Here is the link to the actual doc:

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I reset an iPad 2 to factory defaults when I can't recall the Restriction passcode?

I have tried all of the suggested reset methods and still cannot reset to factory defaults. Somehow I setup a restrictions passcode that I can't find or remember so I seem to bee stuck.
Does anyone have a solution?

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

Hello there DesertRat71,
I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
All the best,
Sterling
