Most laptops nowadays have a recovery partition to boot from to go back to factory settings. What does the user manual of your manual say about it? If they forgot to give it to you, you might be able to download it from the makers site.
If no manual at all can be found, just post make and model here. Somebody might know then.

Hi,
I worked for a company on a contract and when I left I was told I could keep the laptop I was using. It has been sitting on my shelf for the past year, as I was exepcting them to ask for it back, but I have recently confirmed I could keep it.
The problem is that I cant do much with it as it is locked to admin for me to be able to do anything.
Is there anyway to get passed this or wipe the laptop clean and start again.
Cheers
