How to factory restore Windows 10 without using password

Our Windows 10 operating system specially integrates an option to restore the computer to its original state . This is ideal if for various reasons the operating system is unstable or has errors, slowness, viruses, etc., with restoring the system we will have all the configuration again as when the equipment was installed for the first time. Something positive about this is that Windows 10 allows us to keep our personal files which some years ago was really complex and used to lose a lot of user information..

Traditional way to restore Windows 10
This task of restoring the system is normally done from the following route:
  • Start
  • Setting
  • Update and security
  • Recovery
