How to Remove Password or Factory Reset a Surface Go Without a Keyboard (2 Methods) USB Clean Wipe

Resetting a Surface Go or Pro or any Windows 10 Tablet without a keyboard isn't as hard as you might think. Maybe you forgot the password or bought it second hand and they lost their password and forgot to tell you about it. If your tablet asks for a recovery key it is still possible to reset it, but you will need to make a bootable windows 10 USB and get a USB converter dongle (depending on what surface you have, Go vs Pro 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc it may have a normal USB port and you will not need the dongle in that case. This specific one is a Surface Go 1824 Windows 10 Tablet. Hopefully you do not need that data in the account because this will wipe all the data and factory hard reset your Microsoft Surface. This should also work factory resetting any Windows 10 tablet without a keyboard and need to bypass or forgot the password.

Thanks!! I was able to follow the first method with a keyboard on an RT model. But I did log in to Microsoft to get the recovery key.

Hi Eric, I need a bit more help
Please. Once I click on ‘Remove Everything’ my pro goes to a page saying Cloud download or Local Reinstall and whichever one I click on takes me back to first screen (Troubleshoot screen) any help will be appreciated.

Umm… hi. Just curious. I tried it until the troubleshoot part, but it gave me different options. They are start-up settings and UEFI firmware settings. The device is extremely similar, too. Does this step affect the process of factory resetting the PC?

100% worked for me, I wnt into Bios and have it run on USB. Thanks again best video out there.

I have a surface book with the same problem. I wanted to try it but after I choose „Keep my files“ or „Remove everything“ it restarts and asks again if I want to keep my files or delete all and then the touch doesn‘t work. This surface book has no ports. What can I do?

[christonks]

Thank you! Never would have found that.
