    Thank you very much! My father gave me his nextbook, but he set a password that he forgot. He has memory problem. I keep telling him not to set a password to any of his device. He never listen because he is disable. But i appreciate you for showing me how to remove it. Instead of me going to a pc store and pay money to get it remove. Thank you very much!

    January 2021, doing this allowed me to at least get my surface pro books to work on outlet power. Still DO NOT work on battery, known issue, (makes them partial trash) but this re-set does get you operational if you have one of the surface books that would otherwise be trash.Thank’s for the help, killed 2 birds with one stone!

    Excellent! Many thanks sir! You've helped this OAP get his Surface Pro PC back to factory settings. Such easy-to-follow instructions! Clear video and voiceover - with no annoying superfluous background music. NASA don't seem to use background music either! Best regards and thanks.

    I got up to the part where it says to reset if you plan on keeping the tablet. Then it stops everytime and says "Additional free space is needed on the drive where Windows is installed. Free up some space and try again." Help me, what to I do? My daughter took me off as one of the users and she is the only user on there and can't remember password. She tried to reset password for over an hour last night and couldn't get it. She's 18 yrs old so she knows how to do what she needs to do to reset but it's not working. Please help asap, I need the tablet for my new exercise bike!!!!!!
