Here I have Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and let me show you how to accomplish the hardware
0:09
setup operation on that device and how to bypass password or other screen lock methods
0:14
on the following tablet, so how to remove the Windows account also
0:19
So you have to have the keyboard connected to your PC. As you can see here I've got my keyboard
0:27
This keyboard is connected right here. It could be any keyboard and right now you have to start holding the left shift on your keyboard
0:36
This is my left shift key and while holding this left shift let's use the Windows options
0:41
the power options and choose restart. So let's keep holding the left shift and let's restart your device
0:47
Right now you can release shift and as you can see the following blue screen pops up
0:51
So here you need to choose troubleshoot and now let's choose reset this PC
0:57
So now let's decide if you would like to remove apps and settings and keep your personal files
1:02
It is enough for this operation. It will erase your account and the password protection or you can remove everything
1:09
So you can remove your personal files, apps and settings. In my case I will perform the full reset operation so let's choose remove everything
1:20
The device is preparing operation, let's wait a couple of seconds
1:37
And here you have to decide if you would like to just remove your files or you can also
1:42
fully clean the drive. The second option might take even a few hours but it is harder to recover your data
1:49
It is good if you would like to sell your device and you would like to have the certainty
1:55
that nobody can recover your data but if you are doing just for yourself just to reinstall
2:00
the Windows and have a fresh start you can choose remove my files
2:05
So the first option right here
2:14
Alright so resetting will remove all the personal files and user accounts on this PC, any apps
2:20
and programs that didn't come with this PC and any changes made to settings
2:25
It's also good to connect your device to a charger. So let me do it, let me connect my device because this operation may take a few minutes
2:34
and maybe more so you have to be sure that there is enough power and battery
2:39
So now let's choose reset and the Surface is performing the hard reset operation, let's
2:45
just wait until the whole operation will be completed successfully, do not interrupt while
2:49
the process is running, let's wait until the welcome panel pops up on the screen
2:53
So that's it, everything went well, thank you for watching, please subscribe our channel
