Dell Vostro 3550 i7

Writing from a charity in the UK. We were donated a number of Vostro 3550 laptops with the proviso that we factory reset them. We don't have anyone working here who is able to do this and have already wiped 2 of them attempting. The business that donated them to us has not been any help having washed their hands of them. The security is locked and we cannot do a conventional reset. Is there any advice? To be honest it has probably cost us more in time/resource to date and if we can resolve this we probably end up donating them on ourselves.

    The donor needs to provide the unlock password.  If they cannot, the systems are best recycled.
