Are you talking about reseting the bios or the operating system?

the whole thing to factory settings

To return the laptop to factory standards you should have a CD that came with the laptop.

If necessary, you can use the QuickRestore CD kit to restore any or all of the software that was preinstalled on the system. The QuickRestore CD kit is included with the computer, and contains the following components:

    *

      System Recovery software – restores the system to the preinstalled factory configuration

      To restore the system to the preinstalled factory configuration, insert the QuickRestore CD into the appropriate drive. Restart the System and follow the instructions on the QuickRestore CD

            WARNING: Doing a full QuickRestore will erase all data on the hard drive and reset the notebook to the preinstalled factory configuration. Make sure to save all important data to another storage device before doing the QuickRestore.

    *

      Application Recovery software – selectively restores applications and drivers that were preinstalled on the system

      CAUTION: To prevent file corruption and to ensure that the correct drivers install during the restore process do not restore software while the computer is docked in a docking base, plug the computer into an electrical outlet and do not unplug it, and do not shut down the computer until the restore process is completed.
