Can't Reset to Factory Settings... Please Help!!!
I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 that I am trying to reset to factory settings but when I go through the steps of resetting everything g is fine until I get to the Compaq recovery manager the system recovery is so I can highlight it to do the reset. It will only let me do the system restore in that tab and I don't know why. Can someone please help get me last this? Thanks in advance
Hi
From Windows and F11 partition the recovery option is not enabled is that correct.
Activate Recovery partition
Right-click on "Computer" icon and select manage.
2.This will launch the Microsoft Management Console.
3.On the left side of the MMC, click on "Disk Management" and it will show you all of the partitions.
4.Right-click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Active Partition."
5.When the warning prompt appears, select "Yes" - Reboot and it will automatically boot into the Recovery Manager (without pressing F11).
Let us know how it goes!
"I work for HP."

I have a HP Probook 6445b how do I restore to factory settings please help thanks
How do I restore my HP Probook 6445b to factory settings
Hi:
If you have a recovery partition, boot up the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, tap the F11 key and you should be presented with the system recovery menu.
If that doesn't happen or you don't have a recovery partition you will need to order a set of quick restore disks for your PC by calling HP for the country you live in at the link below.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/hp-information/summary/ww-contact-us.html
If there is a separate phone number for business PC's/notebooks, call that number.
Inform the customer services rep that you need a set of quick restore DVD's for your notebook.
You will be asked for the model number and serial number, so have those handy.
Cost ranges from free in countries such as the UK, to $10 in the USA/Canada, to more than $10 elsewhere.

i bought this 3 months ago didn't open it or anything I know big idiot but it was for my daughters bday today she opens it and stuck to the back of it was a yellow sticker saying display model. What..... Ok so we charge it she can't wait to download her little grs and play and nope it won't let me download any apps or games so I tried to sync it with her brothers and no it won't so I google it to find out how to reset to factory settings looked so easy should have known I go to settings then general and yep no reset option so I try the iTunes thing with the laptop nope didn't work I am ready to try the hammer you know where you continually beat the darn thing till you feel better ugh please any suggestions would be so appreciated
You should be able to force it into recovery mode and restore it. Provided, that is, that it's not also activation locked. If there's an iCloud account set up on it with Find my iPod enabled, you're pretty much hosed.
You may want to try contacting Amazon to see if you can return it. Was it actually sold by Amazon, or by a 3rd party? Amazon is getting to be as bad as eBay any more with all the 3rd party sellers.
Amazon is NOT an authorized source for any Apple products. What you got was, as you have already figured out, a demo model. It was probably either liquidated along with the rest of the inventory from a brick and mortar retailer that went bust or possibly even stolen. -
hello..i have IPhone 4S i did reset to factory settings by fault and till now after a 2 hours waiting (as known it takes a 1 to 2 minutes maximum) there is nothing just a blank screen and a running waiting icon in the middle of the screen and none of home or turn off button are responsed so i do need your help plz & thanks in advance..
Try to reset it by holding the power an home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. If it won't reset, you'll probably have to force it into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
