Hi guys, what is the easiest way to do a factory reset on a Samsung laptop?
Used it for work a while back, but can't remember my username and password. Hence, cannot login.

Google searches not helping.

F8 when it boots up or something(same menu as when you select your bootable drive) Select Restore option or something. Have a drink while you wait. Alternative is booting from your Samsung disk and restoring from that.

During boot up, press F11 or F10 or F9. That will take you into the system restore mode.
Just select factory restore.

The F-key differed depending on the motherboard / bios combo.

F11 being the most common.

Why not just clear your password? Active boot / hirens works really well & I'm sure there are other utilities
