    If the zero key isnt working for you, you have to start the pc; when on te login screen, hold shift, go to the power button at the botom right and click restart.

    I tried this once and it did work but it does take some time to reset and i don't want to reset this laptop because it's not mine. My mother uses it also sometimes when checking emails. Anyway, i did this once but it doesn't work. It brings me to the welcome screen and of course, to my normal desktop screen. You have to go to settings and go to windows update and choose recovery. That way, you will be able to choose the option to reset to factory settings. Did you try the same method that i did?

    Thank you so much my computer was acting up (I'm typing this on my extra chromebook) and we have the same computer but It has a lot of memory but it's kinda slow and doesn't connect to the internet or the internet doesn't work but on my chromebook it's perfectly fast.
    I'm swiping it completely but I could never find a good video that taught me how to. I thought you had to do it htrought windows but I guess Toshiba likes to be different. Thanks ;)

    It doesn't come up with "The hard drive recovery process has been selected" It just comes up with a menu to select the operating system and then when I select Windows 7 it just boots and requires a password. I have been asked to wipe the drive as my friend doesn't have the password and he wants it back to factory settings.
