Restoring the factory contents by using Recovery system
Restore of factory default
The Lenovo ideapad MIIX 510-12IKB/ideapad MIIX 510-12IKB LTE computers
come with pre-installed Recovery system.In order to save application files and
the initial backed up files of the system, the hard disk in a Lenovo computer
includes a hidden partition when it is shipped. If you need to restore the system
to the point of your first boot up, just enter Lenovo Recovery system and run
System Recovery. For details of Recovery system, see the User Guide for
Lenovo Recovery system .
When you use the recovery discs to boot your computer, the system will enter
the user interface for system recovery automatically. Please follow the prompt
to insert the backup discs to complete the whole recovery process.
Passwords
As many as two passwords may be needed for any Lenovo ideapad computer:
the power-on password (POP) and the supervisor password (SVP).
If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it appears on the screen
whenever the computer is turned on. The computer does not start until the
password is entered.
Exception: If only an SVP is installed, the password prompt does not appear
when the operating system is booted.
Power-on password
A power-on password (POP) protects the system from being powered on by
an unauthorized person. The password must be entered before an operating
system can be booted.
Note: This will delete all the new data on the system partition (C drive), which
is not recoverable. Make sure to back up your critical data before you perform this
action.
Note:
The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.
