My computer stopped working for some days ago, i don't know why, but i've tried to reset it and it doesn't work. If I choose the option "repair your computer", the computer trys to repair itself, but it gives always the same answer: "It wasn't possible to repair your computer", and gives me two options: turn off the computer or advanced options. If I go to advanced options>problem search>reset this computer it lets me choose if i want to keep my data or not, and whatever I choose it says that I have to unlock my device to do that, and nothing more.

I wanted to ask if someone knows a solution, maybe another way to reset it, or maybe how to unlock the device, or if there's no solution and I have to bring the computer to repair.

NOTE: You will need to get into the "Advanced Options" in order to get the "Refresh Option". This choice will keep your data, but any programs installed will be lost.

Do not do a "Reset" as that will wipe all data you have on the laptop.
