Hp pavilion dv4-1320ca 'can't acces to my recovery'.

Hy,
I have a very big problem, I didn't remember my laptop password and I can't acces the recovery.
How can I manage to delete my password or do a recovery in my computer?
thanks a lot,
Cherinette
(I speak French sorry for my bad english)

Recovery option is by pressing F11 at startup.
This will erase all data from hard drive, however.

  • Pavilion dv4-1241tx wwan device not detected in win 7.Is there any wwan device at all?

    My pavilion dv4-1241tx can not detect wwan device when installing hp connection manager in windows 7.. pls help

    Some of the DV4-1000 series does support WWAN and some of them dont. Install drivers from here and check if WWAN module gets detected in Device Manager under Modems

  • I have a hp pavilion dv4-2160us and the dvd/cd reader is not working. it can't detect the disk too.

    I have a hp pavilion dv4-2160us and the dvd/cd reader is not working. it can't detect the disk too. i've done everything on the hp website to fix it (reinstall the driver, etc.), but nothing seems to help.  can anybody help me with my problem? thanks!

    When you say DVD drive is not working and cant detect disks, Is the Optical drive listed in Device manager and My computer? Is not reading any specific disks or all kinds of disks ?
    Also have you tried all possible troubleshooting steps found over here

  • CAN I UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD ON MY LAPTOP? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR

    I'M PLANNING TO UPGRADE MY LAPTOP SINCE MANY SOFTWARE GAMES REQUIRES HIGHER VIDEO CARD. IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR.

    Not possible Unfortunately...all cards nowadays are built in only
    It was possible in the old days
    but laptop manufacturers found it more "profitable" to make it not, this way the user will have to buy a new laptop every few years.
    there are some third party solutions but they aren't effective really

  • Hp pavilion dv4-1123us Media Card won't read

    I have a hp Pavilion dv4-1123us laptop that won't read a 16 GB SDHC media card. The card works in my PC, so the card is good. I have a Scandisk 5-1 media reader hooked to my home PC that would not read it but I found through Scandisk site I needed to download the latest Firmware which I did and now the card works on my PC. The reader has always and still does read a 512 MB and a 2 GB XD cards on my laptop. I am running XP Pro OS.
    I have searched the HP site for driver downloads but only see them for Windows 7 and 8 not XP.
    Can someone help me on this?

    Hello wgray826,
    You’re having a problem not being able to read a 16GB SDHC card.
    I think that your computer does not support the SDHC card.
    Here is a link to your user guide and what cards it supports.
    I noticed that it shows the Secure Digital but not the Secure Digital High Capacity.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • No sound when using HDMI to Vizio TV. HP Pavilion dv4-4310us

    I just bought a Vizio HDTV and connected to my HP Pavilion dv4-4310us Entertainment Notebook.  I have it connected through the HDMI output on the laptop and get great picture, but no sound! I have scoured the forums for Win 7, and here on HP's site...tried a few things but it seems I'm having a different problem than others.  Other people have posted that they had sound before and now have no sound.  This is my first time using the HDMI output to a TV... I'm running Win 7 Professional, the Audio is IDT, and I have all updated drivers for the Intel 4 Chipset, and the IDT Audio CODEC.  I'm hoping someone can help with this!  It's very frustrating.  Thank you in advance.
    Michele

    Yeah. It kind of *****! But it is true, HDMI does not transmit sound, just video. Which it does well I must say.
    What I did is I have surround sound and I plugged a cord that has male connectors on both sides and I plugged it into my amp on one side and my mcbook on the other, so now I can get sound onto my surround sound and also get the video images on my HDTV. =) If you have a surround sound system with an amp, I would recomend doing this. Its easiest.

  • HP Pavilion dv4 will not start up

    Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. My friend has an HP Pavilion dv4--2045dx  running Windows 7 and it will not start up. Once it is turned on the hp logo appears for a quick second and then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the left, top corner comes up. If I press ctrl alt del and then esc I can get into the menu for F1, F2, F11 etc. I have run and passed all of the system diagnostics tests (Start up, Memory and Hard Drive). I have tried to reset the BIOS to default condition and also tried to connect the laptop to my TV to see if it was the screen that doesn't work, but it wasn't. I tried a hard reset also. When I press F11 for a system recovery, nothing happens. It just goes right back to the black screen with blinking cursor. All of the other F-keys work and I am able to pull up screens for each, except the F11 key.
    I am not very computer literate but am trying everything I can think of to get it back to factory settings or system recovery. If anybody out there has any idea what I'm talking about (I'm not sure I even do) please please give me some suggestions!! 
    I tried to write all of the information I can think of, but if you have any questions about the issue I'll be glad to answer what I can!
    Any suggestions/help are GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may share!!

    Hi,
    Try the following to see if the Hard Drive is accessible.  The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive )  When you've created the CD, follow the rest of the instructions and see if you can access the HDD - you may want to back up your existing files if you can.

  • Pavilion dv4 3138tx drivers after reinstallation of plain windows 7 home premium

    My Pavilion DV4 3138tx notebook recovery disk was crashed, and HP did not give recovery disk when it was purchased. I have to download the windows 7 home premium edition from "mydigitallife.info" website to download the legalized windows 7 reinstallation image. After installation, OS is working, but many drivers seem not working, e.g. ethernet network controller. I tried to download the driver from official HP website for model 3138tx, which is realtek LAN network driver, but after installation, it says "xxx files not found", any way, it is not working, and HP support told me they can not help me, asked me to go for realtek..... I looked up the network controller hardware ID, it is  PCI/VEN10EC DEV8168SUBSYS..@$%&^*(&^ , I looked up in google, it is realtek chip for 10/100/1000 gigabit LAN network card. Very strange, anyone can help me?
    As per HP advice, I also tried to reinstall chipset driver, which is listed on official HP website for drivers of 3138tx model, it doesn't help either. My laptop was purchased in Malaysia with origial windows 7 home premium edition in English, with product key at bottom of the machine.
    This question was solved.

  • Pavilion dv4 webcam not detected

    I have the Pavilion dv4-1454ca notebook and I am having problems with the computer identifying the webcam. I changed the OS to Windows Vista 64-bit and ever since then my webcam doesn't work. I have followed all the steps in fixing webcam after changing the OS on the solve a problem section of the HP website but there is no Imaging Device detected at all in the Device Manager and now I am stuck. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 

    Hi dobson,
    What OS did you have installed on your system before you changed?
    ----Edit----
    I did some research and found these answers that may help you:
