If it has Windows7 hit F8 repeatedly at startup. Select Repair Computer, and then DELL Factory Recovery.

Dear Sir,

You can try restoring the system, you will have to press CTRL and F11 at the same time, 

Please check the Dell support website:

It is bit tricky to reset to factory default a Dell Inspiron 6400, Ctrl+F11 or F10 do not work as hot keys, so If you do not have restore disks you can follow the instrustions using recovery partition

here how I twist it

1. Make bootable CD which contains Norton Ghost or other disk image software
2. boot your system using bootable CD with Norton Ghost software, u can use Hiren's CD ISO image. if u dont know about hiren just google it.

2. Once you boot up , open Norton Ghost click LOCAL-> PARTITION->FROM IMAGE

3. now "look in" for "[DellRestore]FAT drive" and select this drive (this is recovery partition)

4. now go to "IMG" folder and select FI.GHO file 

5. Click Open and there you go... process started 

al good 

Best Luck

all you need to do when you start up your computer is tap the F6 and it will open a program in the boot manager to give the option for a factory reset.

i need to revise my last answer when you tap F6 to open the directory menu you need to push F8 to open the advanced menu and then it will give you an aray of options this is something the manufacturers do not want you to know and this is how computer techs make all there money feel free to send me an E-MAIL.

I am strugling with the same and I am no computer expert but F12 after turning the comp on got me onto a page which allows me to boot from CD. It seem to work so far. Hope it helped

I have dell inspiron 1545, keep hitting F8 and on menu which appears, select first option which says Rerpair Computer. It will lead you to recovery console and there you can recover to factory swttings. Please note that your data might loose.
