Well some PCs can only be set back if they have a saved date there. If somethings wrong with it I recommend trying to fix it first with [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] if that dosent work to reset to factory setting you need a boot disc that usally comes with your PC or you can reboot windows if you have that disc. If you dont have one ask who ever made the PC if they will send you one, you can also make your own if your good with PCs

Note
You'll be asked to choose whether you want to erase data quickly or thoroughly. If you choose to erase data quickly, some data might be recoverable using special software. If you choose to erase data thoroughly, this will take longer but it makes recovering data less likely.
