    Tablet with windows 10 password reset


    Hi
    I bought a windows tablet which was faulty. It had battery issues and i fixed it (installed new battery) all working now.
    The problem i am facing is this.
    the previous user has a profile set up and i dont know the password.
    I tried resetting etc put his profile name come up and ask for password.
    I cant boot it from usb because the usb port is either not working or BIOS/IEFU etc not recognizing it,
    is there any other way i can install a fresh copy of window 10.

    any questions please let me know
    many thanks in advance for all your support.

    Most tablets use a special but unusual 32bit uefi boot loader which will not work with a standard 64bit usb installer.

    Also, booting from a usb drive is usuakky mote complicated eg you have to press power on and vol up key to get to firmware.

    How are you connecting usb to tablet?
