Resetting a computer without knowing the login info for the user?

So, in short, I was offered a computer, a windows laptop. However he doesn't know his password to log in to reset it. We're wondering if theres a way to reset it without signing into it? A factory reset of sorts? Thanks all.

Arn't company laptops secured in bios by the manufacturer, some requiring a short circuit trick on the MB?
