How to factory reset HP 2170p?

I have to use discs that offers me to create a program "HP Recovery Disk Creator", or there is another easier way?

DMA2100 how to factory reset in Windows 7?

I've recently purchased a DMA2100 and have had it successfully talking to my Windows 7 64-bit media center PC. The problem I'm having seems to be a variant of a couple of other problems I've seen on here but not quite the same.
I have no problem connecting using my DMA2100 through a HDMI cable, but get no picture at all when connecting it through either composite of S-Video. Given that I bought the DMA2100 to use with my old analogue set, this kinda sucks!
A previous poster managed to get his DMA2100 to output a picture through composite by doing a factory reset by going through the menus of Vista Media Center. I'm hoping the same will resolve my problem, but cannot figure out how to do this (or how to change video settings) using the Windows 7 Media Center interface.
Solved!

Hi,
Have you double-checked if your TV was set to the right TV input? Is there an existing piece of device that work on the same analog cable and TV input? If there is, then you may proceed on the next step, which is resetting the DMA2100".
Here’s how:
Unplug the power cable from the extender and while it’s unplugged, press and hold the reset button on the back of the extender.
While pressing and holding the reset button, re-plug the power cable and keep holding still the reset button way down to 10-15 secs then let it go.
Wait for the extender to completely reboot.
When the Main Menu appears, select Settings. (If you’ll get into the Windows media center automatically, you need to exit out first from the interface to see the main menu. Just go to TASK, then EXIT)
Press the right arrow on the remote control and select General.
Use the up and down arrow on the remote control to select Reset to factory defaults.
Note: Since the extender is working with the HDMI connector, then the extender needs to be connected through the HDMI to your TV just to perform the reset. Right after the reset, you may then reconnect the analog cable to the extender. Use one TV cable at a time to avoid conflict of signal from the extender.
Also, you might need to update the media center extender’s firmware. Click here on how to do the update.

How to Factory Reset a Windows 7 PC Without Removing the OS?

I just inhertited an older Window 7 Toshiba PC (I'm not sure exactly what make, although I know it's a Satellite). There are a lot of programs, files, settings, and what not from the previous owner. I want to wipe every last bit of data on the computer; however, I do not want to uninstall the Windows 7 OS as I do not have the discs to reinstall it nor do I have any way of obtaining them. How can I factory reset the PC while leaving the OS intact?

Go to Start, Search and type PC and click on PC Diagnostic Tool in the results above. Here you will find all the details about your computer. In any future communications here, give us the Model Name, Part Number and Operating System shown there.
Go to Start, Search and type Disk Management. If you show a partition there on the first part of your HDD of about 1.5GB and another partition at the end of the HDD of about 15GB, you have HDD Recovery built in the HDD and you can recover to out-of-box using that. The procedure is in your User's Guide. Start, Search, type User's Guide and click on User's Guide. Look under "Recovery of Internal Storage Drive".
If for some reason that procedure doesn't work, you can order free recovery media HERE (scroll down) from Toshiba for a shipping and handling charge. This procefdure is also in your User's Guide.
Good Luck!

Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode

5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
If he has Find My Phone activated the above will not help you. He needs to do the following:
Is Find My Phone turned on?
You'll have to login to iCloud.com, from any computer, locate, then erase your phone. Once done, restore from backup, if you have one.
That's the only way for you to fix this.

How to factory reset IPAD-1?

i couldnt find the option to reset my ipad to factory settings. any help?

You should be able to reset it back to factory defaults via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings. But before you do that have you copied all iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - not all content types can be redownloaded in all countries, so if there is anything on your iPad that you may want to keep then you should copy it off

4500 vss how to factory reset both switches

I need to factory default a pair of 4500 switches in VSS mode.
This is how I plan to do it.
1. on switch 1 execute redundancy force-switchover
2. write erase on the switch 2 and reload
3. this should failover to switch 1
4. write erase in switch 1
Is there anything I missed? Should I remove
Maybe I should do a switch convert mode stand-alone on both switches and then do a write erase on both?

1. Configure the config-registry to 0x2101. Reboot the entire chassis.
2. Once the chassis reboot, both cards should boot up without reading the startup-config file.
3. Go into configuration mode and change the config-registry to 0x2102.
4. Exit configuration mode and erase the configuration using the command "wr erase".
5. Don't forget to delete the VLAN.dat file.

How to factory reset Macbook Air with Mavericks

I work at a pawn shop and have a Macbook air with OS X 10.9 installed. I need to be able to reset this, so the previous owner's information is not compromised before selling it. When powering on the Mac I am unable to use any boot commands to get to terminal or recovery options because a screen with a lock and a password entry box show up. How can I bypass this to reset the mac?
Thanks

I have addressed the issue with the other team members going forward, but I still have potentially 1-4 months of affected inventory...which is potentially a huge financial loss.
I don't doubt that this particular machine was tested before it was purchased, but if the general assumption was, passwords are no big deal, we can just boot to recoery mode and reset the mac later, then this would have been no cause for concern.
either way, I have to find away around this for my current inventory. I will get some torx screw drivers and try removing the ram.
thank you

How to Factory Reset a Cisco 6160

I can't figure this out and there isn't much documentation on the subject online. The reset button just resets the device even after holding it for 10+ seconds and there is nothing in the CLI.

Nick Weaver wrote:We have access to the CLI but don't have permissions because we don't know the enable password since we bought the device from another company. I only have the entry level commands and there are no write or erase commands.
Password recovery procedures located here

Note that this WILL be a disruptive process, so if the device is in production, schedule downtime accordingly.

How to factory reset demo unit

Hi,
I'm a sales rep in retail franchise and sold our demo ipad to a customer.
I thought I could restore OS to factory default using firmware downloaded but it doesn't work.
I need to have it done in 12 hours to honor the customer but i'm running out of idea.
My colleague tells me i may need to contact apple rep tomorrow morning but i'd really like to have it done so i can sleep in peace.
Any ideas?

Yeah ...of course, its a demo. There would be no way for someone to erase it. That makes sense. Does it have some sort of profile that prevents changing the settings, I imagine?
this website might be helpful, but I do not see error code 3149 on it.

How to factory reset iPhone without restriction passcode or computer? Please help

I New to reset my opine 4s and can't because I don't have a computer and it says I have to have a restriction passcode and I don't know it. Please help.

The short answer is, you don't.
The long answer is, you'll either need to get access to a computer and use Find my iPhone on iCloud.com to erase the phone or put the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes.

You don't. That is Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent theft and cannot be bypassed.
