This FAQ provides answers to common questions about our remote Windows PC and laptop password reset and factory restore services. If you have forgotten your password and are locked out of your computer, our certified technicians can remotely format your device and restore it to its factory settings, giving you a fresh start and immediate access.
How does the remote formatting process work?
The process is simple and designed to be hassle-free. Here’s what you need:
1. A second computer with an internet connection.
2. A USB flash drive.
3. The ULTRAVIEWER software installed on the second computer.
Our technicians will guide you through the process of creating a bootable USB drive, and then use ULTRAVIEWER to remotely access your locked computer and perform the format and reinstallation of Windows.

much faster than the days or weeks a repair shop might take.

Security
Is the remote formatting process secure?
Yes, our process is 100% secure. We use ULTRAVIEWER , a trusted remote access tool, and our certified technicians follow strict protocols to ensure the security and privacy of your data.
The process involves formatting the drive, which erases all data, so you can be sure yourpersonal information is not at risk.
What happens to my data?
A factory restore will erase all data on your computer's hard drive. This includes all your
personal files, programs, and settings. This is a necessary step to remove the old password-protected user account. We recommend that you back up your important files before this process if possible. If you cannot access your files, this process will result in data loss.
Payment and Pricing
How much does the service cost?
Our remote formatting service costs a flat fee of $75 USD, which is paid upfront. This fee covers the remote assistance from our certified technicians.
Does the price include a Windows license?
The $75 fee does not include a Windows license. You will need to provide your own valid Windows license key. If you do not have one, we can purchase a license for you on demand at an additional cost.
