The only way to reset the laptop to factory defaults would be to use the CTRL F11 keys to access the Dell PC Restore by Symantec. As long as the restore partition is intact, you can restore the CTRL F11 function using Dan Goodell's DSRFIX. DSRFIX and instructions on how to use it are here: http://www.goodells.net/dellrestore/index.htm Repairing the CTRL F11 function is covered in the "Troubleshooting the Restore Process" section.
I already fixed, but thank you. Since I reformated the hdd it erased the factory defults. Or my laptop just didn't want to cooperate because I pushed crtl+ F11 20 times (literally) and it did nothing. But thank you for your help. Both of you, I appreciate it.

Welcome to the forums :emotion-5:
You might want to start by referring to the official Dell Restoring your [Dell] computer to the factory settings guide.
