Hi fritzc,
I see you want to reformat your Lenovo back to factory Defaults I believe.
To do so follow the instructions Below.
Turn your Lenovo OFF
Once powered Down look for the orrange Arrow beside the power button that will probably have a Pinhole Button beside it.
Once located you will need to press that Pinhole Button Down for mat least 5 seconds this will turn the Lenovo system ON.
You Should see Lenovo One Kwey Rescue System and a green Wallpaper made out of Leaves or Grass.
Select One key Recovery if not with the mouse use the keyboard Arrow keys.
Then after selecting one key recovery select restore from Initial Backup then press Enter
after selecting restore from Initial Backup you should get info about the restoration asking if you agree to the restoration setting everything to Default and that files will be deleted if so then click yes to begin the Restoration.
One key recovery takes at least 20 mins to 25 mins depending on the Hard drive Content and Hard Drive space that will be formatted back to defaults.
If One key CRecovery Fails then most Likely you will need to call Lenovo to be able to get the Recovery Disc sent you this will be Free since your OKR or One Key recovery isn't working but if it Does the disc will be sent in a different way, for the Disc to be Ordered the number to call is 1-877 737 1092 Operating Hours are Mon- Fri EST 10AM-11PM.
I hope this will be helpful.
Have a nice day

For models with Lenovo Energy Management, Lenovo Power Manager, OneKey Optimizer, Lenovo Settings, or Lenovo Vantage:

If your Lenovo ThinkPad doesn't have a Novo key, you can still perform a factory reset using the Windows installation media. However, please note that this process will erase all data on your computer, so make sure you have backed up any important files before proceeding. Here are the steps:
Create a Windows installation media (USB or DVD) using another computer. You can download the Windows installation files from the Microsoft website and use the Windows Media Creation Tool to create the installation media.
Insert the Windows installation media into your Lenovo ThinkPad and restart the computer.
Press the F12 key repeatedly to enter the boot menu. Select the Windows installation media and press Enter.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows. When you reach the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen, select the partition that contains the current Windows installation and click "Delete." This will erase all data on the partition.
Continue with the Windows installation process until it completes. When prompted, set up a new user account and password.
Once Windows has finished installing, make sure to install all necessary drivers and software for your Lenovo ThinkPad.
Note: If you don't have a valid Windows license key, you will need to purchase one before performing the factory reset.
It seems that your computer is stuck in a boot loop and you are unable to access the troubleshoot services. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
Disconnect all external devices from your computer, except for the keyboard and mouse, and restart the computer.
If that does not work, try to access the Advanced Startup Options by holding down the shift key while clicking on the Restart option in the Start menu.
If you are unable to access the Advanced Startup Options, you can try to create a Windows 10 installation media on a USB drive using another computer and then boot your computer from the USB drive.
Once you are able to access the Advanced Startup Options, you can try using the Startup Repair tool to fix any issues with the boot process.
If that does not work, you can try using the System Restore tool to restore your computer to an earlier point in time when it was working properly.
If none of these steps work, you may need to consider reinstalling Windows on your computer.
It is also possible that there is a hardware issue causing the problem, in which case you may need to take your computer to a professional for repair.
