Factory reset on broken laptop issue

My laptop has a broken screen and it's impossible to see without an external monitor. So I had to reset my computer to factory settings and when the first time set up came on, I couldn't see the fields because of my monitor not turning on. I entered random stuff and pressed tab space a lot to get through it. Now it's asking me for a username and password to get in and i'm not sure what I entered. What can I do?

Hi Rentation, welcome to the HP Forums. Is is asking for Windows login information? What is the model or product number? What version of Windows is installed?

  • Factory reset my satellite laptop

    hey, i would like to factory reset my satellite x200/x205 series. it's an old computer with alot of stuff on it. i would just like to in a way start fresh with a "new" computer. i have backed up and transferred all my important files and documents already and my computer is ready for a reset. am i doing this right? if i factory reset my comp will it mess up any drivers or anything else on my comp? if so how can i fixit or update any possible drivers afte the reset? i have the toshiba recovery and applications/drivers that came with the computer for windows vista home premium 32 bit disk one and two. if i put those in and follow the prompts is this all i need for a factory reset? i also have the upgrade your windows vista experience disk that came with the computer also.

    When I had so much trouble installing Windows 7 from the purchased cd, I had to do an "out of box recovery" for my laptop . Make a back up disc of everything you want to keep. I only did Windows Photo Gallery, there was nothing else of importance to backup. Then insert the Toshiba Recovery Disc that came with your computer at the time of purchase, and follow all the directions.  If you do not have the Recovery Disc, call  1-800-457-7777, they can send you one, for a very small charge (?? $20.00 or so ??) Make sure you have your Internet Security and Anti-virus disc ready to install. Personally, there were less problems with the install than the download. TIP TIP TIP I use my favorites box all the time, so I wrote down every site I had listed there...that way when the out of box recovery was complete, all I had to do was go to my list (abc order) and open each page or site, then hit add to favorites. That saved me so much time !!! I also write down the passwords for each site, just so I don't have to remember them,and when you're working and trying to think...well senior moment takes on a life of it's own !!!   Hope I helped

  • IPad 2 factory reset and backup recover issue.p

    I had to perform a factory reset and recover on my iPad 2. iTunes only found a backup file from April of 2014. However I backup my iPad every month. I really need to recover my notes, contacts and pictures Without losing my current updates. I found a more recent backup on an external drive but iTunes overwrote it when I followed the self help instructions.  Also there are 4 Apple products being backed up on my PC and I do not know how to tell them apart. Has anyone ever had this issue and know of a valid resolutions?   Any assistance would be greatly appreciate.
    Thank you!

    Hi Since ios 7 when you charge your iPhone or iPad it Automatically backs up To icloud you can do almost everything over your WiFi. So you should have a recent backup. Cheers Brian

  • HT1420 it says I have authorized 5 computers on my account, but I haven't. I factory reset my same laptop several times and authorized a desktop PC I have (which I am not near right now).

    How can I remotely disauthorize the bogus machines but keep the desktop?

    You first must Deauthorize All. Then reauthorize the computers you want. The Deauthorize All option can be found by selecting Account under Quick Links in iTunes Store.

  • HELP I did a factory reset on my dv7-6195

    Please help.I did a factory reset on my laptop. and following instuctions i backed up my files onto an go-flex external drive.Im assuming it backed up programs as well as libraries ..documents etc...its on g local disc.when i view the drive i just see a bunch of numbers so i really dont know how to get the desired files back on my computer.i did a paste and copy of the drive but it just copied it back on to the drive. so oviously im a complete novice w everything computer. with having a factory reset the files they ask me to backup...cant be added{ recovered} because the manager says no back up has been performed so i know im doing something wrong.there an option to include the folders-files in the library would that make the files more discript ? then i can move them to their appropriate locations..including back onto the external drive..this is all guess work..and finally im under warranty and have total care as well...im running windows 7..thank you in advance. oh and something went amiss when the copy was made but one window covered the other window to see what happened to the file.

    Usually there is one .EXE file within the backed up files, Restore.exe or similiar, that can be double clicked to run and it extracts the files to a folder on your C drive.

  • 1st generation won't transfer songs from iTunes without factory reset

    Hi, my 1st gen won't transfer newly purchased songs from iTunes. I've tried checking for downloads but it checks and states "just checked for downloads"
    Also attempted restarting, but that didn't help. Only way I can get it to transfer is a factory reset.

    ones had an issue a bit like that with my 1g Apple TV what fixed it for me was to unpair the computer in the appletv settings and then rebind it
    sure it took ages to sync everything over again but it fixed it
    think I've done it 2 times over the years

  • How do you factory reset a Satellite M50 -159

    Hi,
    I need to factory reset the above laptop. I've looked through the forum and seen a post saying to press 0 to access this option but this doesn't work. The laptop did not come with any CDs as the factory software is on a hidden partition on the hard disk.
    Any other suggestions as to how to access the factory reset options?
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

    According to the User's Manual for your Satellite M50, it came with a "Product Recovery Disk."
    Maybe I looked up the wrong computer?

  • GS70-2OD-001US Graphics card than Factory Reset Issue

    After using heavy programs such as gaming and media design, everything on my laptop just shuts down. Out of nowhere it says that my video card's memory has ran out so I thought I was just overdoing it and so I restarted. I do this quite often so it came as a surprise to be that this happened for the first time. Once laptop was back up, the moment I tried to boot up anything that depended on the Nvidia GeForce GTX 765m, it would say that there was an issue with the nvidia kernel and it restarted successfully so I thought it was an issue with the graphics card. Uninstalling and Reinstalling did not work so I contacted NVidia customer support for help and they said to change power management to max, which didn't help either unfortunately.
    Eventually, I just saved all my files onto my external hard drive and went for a factory reset hoping that may fix the problem, if not than sending the laptop back in to get it checked. After reset got to 100%, the computer shuts down without resetting so I waited 10 minutes and came back to start it up and it says "Windows was not successfully installed and windows need to be installed." I do not have a recovery disc or the windows 8 oem key to start my laptop back up again. Unfortunately it is a bit frustrating considering it is the only laptop that I have for assignments - typing this on a tablet - so hopefully there is a fix for it soon. Please help if you have any information. Thanks a lot.

    Call MSI and do an RMA. Most likely there is an issue with the video card that needs to be fixed. Atleast, by the sound of what you're explaining that's what I would think.

  • I loaded Win 7 on my laptop and didn't back up my phone to I tunes. I loaded IOS 6 to the phone and it needed to sync. The Itunes didn't connect to my account phone factory reset. I have logged on why can't I get my apps and music back to my phone?

    I loaded Win 7 on my laptop and hadn't loaded I tunes yet when I updated my phone to IOS 6. It needed to sync and had to factory reset. I have loaded I tunes, logged on yet still can't get my apps or music to load on my phone again? I have added the I tunes back-up to the folder on my newly loaded PC? Any suggestions before I go to the apple store and use the F word.

    The same thing happened to my poor sister, and she is panicking because of all of her photos of her "daughter growing up" that will be lost.  It seems that this has happened to several people already, and I REALLY hope that Apple figures this out so that it doesn't force all of these people to completely reset their devices.  Best of luck to you, and I am bookmarking this and other similar discussions to monitor for other, more desirable solutions. 

  • I have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    Try this:
    Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
    If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
    If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased.

  • I've factory reset my iPhone twice, about to be three times. has anyone else had issues that force them to factory reset their phones.

    So I got my iPhone 6 on the day it came out and it has been the most frustrating experience I've ever had with apple.  I've had to factory reset my phone twice, probably about to be three times once i get home from work.  The first time was trying to transfer my stuff from my old iPhone and right after it finished my iPhone 6 turned itself off then turned on to the boot up screen (the one with the apple logo) and then shut off then did the same thing.  this forced my to factory reset my new iphone literally the day i got it.  The next day i was trying to upload my music and basically the same thing happened again, forcing me to reset my phone for a second time.  Just now (its been two weeks that I've owned my new phone)i tried to get on twitter and the app crashed then my phone reset itself and when it loaded to the unlock screen, instead of my background it was just a black screen with the time and the unlock slide.  when i unlocked it, it went back to the normal background and the main screen.  Because whenever i would turn off (not power off, but put it to sleep) the phone and turn it back on it would do the same thing.  I decided to restart it (actually turn it completely off and then back on) and now it will show the boot up screen then turn off.  I understand that there is the solution of factory resetting my iPhone, but 3 times in 2 weeks is pretty unacceptable, seeing as i had a 4s for almost 3 years and never once had to factory reset it and its also incredibly annoying to have to redownload all of my stuff.  Has anyone else had this problem? is there anyway i can keep this from continuing to happen?  is it a software issue or is it the phone itself that is messing up?

    WiseJD, thank you for your suggestions.  Well the first two restorations were the first and second day (9/19 and 9/20) that i had my 6 and both times i chose to restore is as new.  since then there haven't been any issues until now.  granted the first time my phone messed up was after i used the At&t transfer app which made me think it couldve been something that corrupted my device.  the second time though started with me attempting to download music from the itunes store app on the phone.  for whatever reason it would download but not but it wouldnt process and install the music.  Then i tried to download it from my computer and thats when the second screw up occurred. that time i dont think it was an issue of my phone being corrupted because it was already acting strangely before i ever plugged it into my computer.  This third time, i'm at work so i havent been able to do anything about it, i wasnt downloading anything and my phone was not hooked up to a computer, i simply tried to open twitter and then all this happened. and it has been a solid almost two weeks without incident which makes me think its my phone and not corrupt files.  also looking at forums, not just these but other online, i haven't really seen anyone with the same problem which adds to my thought that its a problem with my phone. 
    Just to be clear, the first time this happened, the iphone would display the boot up screen then shut off then turn on and display the boot up screen, then shut of and kept going on like that until i put my iphone into recovery mode and factory reset it.  the second time the iphone would display the boot up screen and then shut off, but wouldnt turn on unless i pressed the power button again.  this third time is the same story.  i dont know if this makes a difference or if its symptomatic of different problems but i figured it wouldnt hurt to explain in detail the issues that happened each separate time.
    Also on a side note, i havent done anything like jailbreak it, mess with it download or any third party apps not on the app store.
