I need to do a hard reset on my Lenovo IdeaPad. I've been searching up answers and found helpful articles but none of them worked. I think the problem is that the laptop is secured under the DOE (Department of Education). For anyone concerned, I did not steal or had someone steal the laptop for me from any school. A family member worked at a school here in New York and was given the laptop since it's pretty old. Is there any way to reset the laptop to factory settings so there isn't any DOE security on it anymore? Thank you.
