Lock Your Dell Laptop Remotely

Lock the device and reset the password for an added layer of security. This works even if Find my device is disabled and you cannot locate the laptop on the map.   If you successfully retrieve your lost laptop, you can sign into it again with your Microsoft administrator account as usual. Reset your Microsoft account sign-in as soon as you lock the computer remotely.
