Venue 8
Hi everyone,
I have an old tablet that want to rest to the factory settings. I don't remember the password so can't get past that screen. Any help for this?

Hi
What to try
If it’s a Microsoft account, reset it online, then sign in with the new password. learn.microsoft
If it’s a local Windows account, use the password hint or any configured recovery options. learn.microsoft
If you only need the data and the device is not encrypted, a Windows recovery/reset may be the practical route, but it can erase apps and settings. youtube learn.microsoft
If it’s a BIOS/admin password, Dell’s own community guidance points to contacting Dell Tech Support with proof of ownership rather than bypass methods. dell
