Hello /g/
So I picked up this little guy from a tech-refurb place a while back and I'm just now getting time to play with it, but I don't have any information regarding the login for the acc.
I can't login to the OS and fastboot is enabled so I can't boot it off anything. It's completely locked out.
Any ideas so I can login/reformat?

I'd say remove the hard drive, and try turning it on with a bootable flash drive, see where that gets you, if that works that means you can wipe the hard drive with your daily grinder. Generally replacing the hard drive completely would be my rec. You can browse through their shit by plugging the hard drive into your own computer and what not

That looks like the Windows lock screen
There's no way a tech refurb company would sell something that's still locked out with another account, and possibly someone else's data
gee is not your tech support
Give it back Tyrone..

Create a bootable Linux USB drive, bootinto it and go to the laptop's C:\Windows\system32 folder. Delete "sethc.exe", make a duplicate of "CMD.exe" and rename it to "sethc.exe". Boot back into windows and mash the shift key a bunch and it'll open a command prompt, then run a "net user" command

I bought a tablet off fleabay that came complete with some other person's google account, apps and data set up on it. They didn't bother to factory reset it. No protection on it, either. (No, I didn't fuck with any of it, just factory reset it myself)

Fast boot only happens on shutdown. Reboot instead. Click the little power symbol and restart. Then hammer the usual suspects (escape, enter, F1, F2, F10, delete) as it reboots.
