Acer Aspire 3680 bot issues

I have gone through the windows shift+f10 method and restored to factory settings. The monitor on my laptop is broken but I am able to view on external one. I see the restore process start and finish then wants to restart. I then restart and I lose the screen. It gets as far as showing the acer screen then the loading on windows then nothing. I try and boot in safe mode and it says "windows cannot complete installation in safe mode. To continue installing windows restart computer." I have tried everything. Any ideas of what I need to do.

Want to factory reset my Acer Aspire 3680 Laptop. But when I use the alt f10 to restore to factory settings, i need a "empowering technology password" which I don't have.
You need to contact ACER support staff via email and ask for that password.

I need to know how to reset my acer aspire 6930 to factory settings!!!!!
A slightly different model requires pressing Alt+F10 at the start up and following the prompts. This will wipe the hard drive though, so back up everything important first. You can probably still get the data even if it doesn't boot Windows.

Restore to factory default
Unlike other laptops, Acer notebook/laptops integrate a computer management utility called 'Acer eRecovery Management' to create backup of hard drive data, create restore point, reinstall applications & drivers, and reset Acer Aspire 4315 to factory setting.

Step 1: Before starting your Acer Aspire 4315 laptop, ensure that there is no external storage device attached to it. Now start your laptop.

Step 2: Press 'Alt + F10' when the laptop starts booting, and wait for a moment while Windows loads the reset files.

Step 3: When 'Acer eRecovery Management' window appears, select 'Restore System from factory default' and click 'Next' to continue.

Step 4: Again click 'Next' to reset your Acer laptop. This process will erase all data from your hard disk and reset your Acer one to original factory settings.

Step 5: Click 'OK' in the notification window to begin the the resetting operation. Now wait while your Acer Aspire 4315 is reset to factory settings.

Tips: You can also create a backup copy of your notebook data before factory reset. Simply click 'Backup' in 'Acer eRecovery Management' window.
