    I bought a laptop [Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P], but it was obviously a display copy, and it still has their company name as the main username. I thought doing a factory reset would get rid of it under users, but it still shows up.

    But it turns out, after booting into Windows 8, it shutdown and locked itself and showed the companies address and mentioned an unlock password if I didn't have an Internet connection, I connected it and it rebooted back into Windows 8.

    Is there a way to delete all that stuff, and if so how, because I don't want to have to go through the same thing every single time I need to do a factory reset?
