Hi there,
I have a Dell Inspiron 1012 Mini laptop. I recently changed the password to my laptop, and didn't write it down, now I don't remember it and I have no chance of ever remembering the password. I would like to do a factory reset on my laptop, I've been told I can do so by hitting the F8 key and doing a system repair. After doing that, it told me I needed to log in to do a factory reset. I've tried going into the advanced options and such and I can't reset it, I can't crack the password, and I can't put in a reset disk because there is no disk drive on my laptop. Any suggestions? I've tried most things. I don't want to go to a store to do anything if at all possible, I'd like to try and fix it myself.
