How do i reboot my dell computer - Computers & Internet

For Dell password reset, you can use Windows Password Rescuer to help reset password easily. It can help reset Windows 8/7/Vista/XP/2008/2003/2000 administrator password quickly without logon.


You also can use Password Recovery Bundle 2012to reset it.This Tool can recover password for Windows, Word, Excel, RAR etc.

Installing a fresh operating system is a good option, and there might be a feature in the BIOS to restore the system to factory defaults. Information on how to do this:

Dell seem to not make a lot of computers with reboot/reset button. If Windows is already running, you can turn it off or reboot it from the start menu. What you can also do is to hold down the power button for at least 5 seconds. Usually it will turn it off itself if you hold it for long enough.

Press and hold CTRL+AL+DEL keys to reboot the PC.

For this problem it only means that the Hard Disk of the computer is not being detected

Try doing the ff:

• reseat the IDE or SATA cable of the Hard Disk
  
• Clean the port where the cable is connected (make sure that the computer is unplug)
• reboot the computer
• if problem persist contact computer manufacturer

Hope this will help
Thanks
