Here I have Acer Switch 10 with activated password protection and let me show you how
0:09
to accomplish hard-addressed operation on the following device, so how to remove everything
0:13
including your password protection, so this is also the way to bypass your password protection
0:19
So at the very beginning you have to start holding a shift key right here, so keep holding
0:26
shift key for the whole time, the left shift, and while holding shift let's use the power
0:31
options in that corner and choose restart. So keep holding shift while the device is restarting and release shift as soon as the
0:42
following options pops up. Now you have to select troubleshoot right here and then let's choose reset this PC
0:52
Here you have two options, you can keep your files, so remove apps and settings but keeps
0:56
your personal files or you can remove everything, so remove all of your personal files, apps
1:01
and settings. So as I said let me perform a hard-addressed operation, so this operation removes everything
1:07
so let's tap the second option. Now the device is preparing operation, wait a few seconds
1:33
As you can see the options of reset just pops up, you may also observe that my device switched
1:41
language to a default one, but you've got a similar screen in front of you, so you can
1:48
select the first option, which is just remove my files, so it is much more quicker but less
1:54
secure than the second one, but this operation simply removes your personal files, it's better
2:00
if you would like to keep your PC and the second option is fully clean the drive, so
2:05
this operation it may take even several hours, but it will be harder for someone to recover
2:11
your removed data, so it's better if you would like to sell your device or give somebody
2:16
your tablet. So in my case let me simply choose just remove my files, the first option is enough and resetting
2:23
will result in erasing all personal data and customized settings, all accounts signed in
2:29
to this PC and all apps from the following tablet. So if you're aware of the following information, let's tap reset right here, it's always a
2:40
good idea to have connected a battery charger to your device, as you can see I've got my
2:46
device connected, so now all you have to do is just wait until the whole operation will
2:51
be completed, the device will restart and reboot a couple of times, the whole operation
2:57
should take about 20 or 30 minutes, so let's just be patient, wait until everything will
3:03
be finished, do not interrupt while the process is running and after this you will see a welcome
3:09
panel and you will be able to go through the initializing setup process and start using
3:13
your device without any password. So thank you for watching, please subscribe our channel and leave thumbs up under the video
