Knoggin scratcher...Wtf its a acer 5532 lA p top with windows seven. And I don't have the system recovery disk nor do I have the internet. How can I rest back to factory with out having to get on line
 
you don't need a recovery disk. just make sure you backup all your important files

also, you may lose some of your installed programs including microsoft office.
if you don't mind me asking, why are you resetting?
 
if it boots up it has software on it to do it called acer erecovery

it it doesnt boot up to windows press alt + F10 as its turning on for the recovery partition
