    YOu mean you want to start from a as-new condition?
    You need to reformat your harddrive with the operating system again. Stick in a XP or Vista disk and enter your product code and overwrite the current install.

    That always does the trick. If not, say it rained when you came to give them the computer back because it didn't work. New free computer. CHACHING. AMIRITE GUIZE!?!?!

    Yep, but they usually start to get suspicious when the PC smells like Coca Cola.

    Meh, I'll just say it's Pepsi. They won't know the difference.

    Check in your user manual, also you should order cds for it or get windows xp/vista and reformat it.

    Don't reformat, you'll lose all your programs.

    Just look for the reset button under the tower and get a pen and push it.
