My lenovo laptop can't factory reset what do i do

Can you start Windows on your laptop?

"Factory reset" on brand-name laptops usually means "Restore from a hidden partition on the hard disk".
Your laptop should include instructions how to do that if you did not mess it up. You might have to buy (for a nominal charge) recovery media from Lenovo for your particular laptop.
