Re: How do you totally reset everything in your laptop?
Depending on how old/new the laptop is there is probably a key you can press to make it boot up in recovery mode and just make everything as it was when it was new. Which means it will delete everything personal that might have been on there and reset everything. Not that familiar with what key dell usually use for that.Comment

Re: How do you totally reset everything in your laptop?
Before trying the below stick your hdd in an enclosure and save all you stuff to a pc as you will lose everything.
This is a copy and paste from yahoo answers so may not work but worth a shot;
"when dell screen comes up on keyboard hit CTRL+ F11 twice only then you will see Dell pc restore by Symantec.Hit on restore and hit on i agree and select the option Restore the pc to dell factory settings and then it will restore the pc.If you have purchased this laptop say late 2004(oct) your laptop will have this partiton. If NOT then you need to check with your hardware vendor"
Also look here as it depends if you are on xp or vist/win7

To all the members here...
Let me tell you a little bit about what happened to my laptop (MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX model: MS-16R6) that “maybe” you know how to solve this problem.
So before this problem happened, my laptop was running smoothly. When I wanted to restart my laptop, it looked fine at first. But after I waited for this restart process to take a long time, until finally I panicked (because the restart process did not finish plus the laptop screen only showed a black screen), I immediately pressed and held the power button to force the laptop to turn off.
