factory-defaults

I got a Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop from a local computer store that a buddy of mine works at. When I turned it on I had come to realize it has not been wiped and reverted to factory defaults.

How can revert the machine to factory defaults?

I do not have any of the CDs that came with the machine, all I have is the computer and the power brick.

But if it helps any I can able to get into Windows so I full access to the machine.
