It's entirely dependant on the operating system, if you have Windows 10 then boot into the OS and search for "reset" - this will reset the OS back to it's original install.
Otherwise to answer your question fully, if you want to wipe the HDD/SSD then you will find many USB-based tools available to do this.

SOURCE: factory reset

This would need to be completed with a disc that came with your machine that contains an compressed DVD or CD of your computer with all software that was installed (if it was custom built) or by using an operating system full install disc (if the computer was bought from a store off the shelf.) Best of luck!

How to undo factory reset on toshiba laptop?

No! once a factory reset has been performed the hard drive in that has been wiped clean, now having said that it is possible to use recovery software that may be able to reconstruct some of your files. I would suggest a paid program better chance of recovery, check www.ebay.com Type recovery or hard drive recovery, also check online for more options.

Hi, I have a Toshiba Laptop, I think it got virus

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

The great thing about the newer Toshiba's is that they have an internal resetting system! This link works for all models 2007 and up!

http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-58528-reset-toshiba-laptop-to-factory-settings

Please read instructions carefully. I have reset other Toshiba's and it took a few tries when i was 'new' to these steps, but within a few minutes, it worked like a charm! I will also advise that if you have anything such as files or pics that you want to keep, save them to email or upload them to another site before you do this. This will wipe out everything, but it will run like a champ with a clean slate once this is performed!

Please rate my solution if you find this useful!

How do u reset a toshiba satellite pro sp6100 back to the factory settings

If you mean everything as when you just bought it what you do is power off the computer and then when it is off press and hold the 0 key, not the one on the numpad. Then power the system once it gets to the screen to have the system set up you can let go of the 0 key. Now this is all possible assuming you still have the partitions that came with the computer and not reformated it and wiped out all partitions and made it a single one. Basically that is all you have to do. I done it once I was crazy enough to not know how to do it and toshiba told me how the first time I made recovery discs with thier wizard. If you don't have access to your operating system or your partition for recovering is wiped then the only way to get it set to factory defaults is to order some recovery discs.
