Password Reset on hp pavilion 15-b142dx w/ Windows 8

Please help. My mom is visiting and she just bought a new hp pavilion 15-b142dx. She says shes putting in the right password but she's locked out of her computer and just bought it. Poor thing. We don't have any of the discs or anything that came with it right now. Can anyone help us reset the password on this?

You could do a System Recovery:

Factory reset on HP Pavilion 17-f078no to windows 8.1

I have a HP Pavilion 17-f078no with W8.1 pre installed. I installed windows 7 on it from a W7 DVD on c-drive (wiped the c-drive partition). I did not touch the other partitions.
If I want to get back to W8.1 (as from factory), how do I get back to factory status?
Since I did not touch the other partitions I presumed I could reinstall facotry setup from the other partitions. But when I press F11 and go to factory recovery I have to choose Windows 7 (W8.1 is not prsent as a choise) and then it ask if I want to reset to factory setup. But factory setup is W8.1! I did not make any discs before installation of W7 since I did not touch the recovery partitions.

Dear Customer,
Welcome to HP Support Forum and we are glad to assist you.
It looks like you are not able to Boot into the Operating System on your Notebook.
We will surely assist you with this.
Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition
is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
If Recovery Partition is corrupted or not available
You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
OR
You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

I need to do a factory reset for a Go desktop 6835 with Windows XP Does anyone know how??

Does anyone know how to do a factory reset on the pavilion desktop 6835, ruining Windows XP?? I've tried what I did on my HP laptop, but it only restored the settings.

Did the selller tell you what version of OS X was installed when the machine originally purchased. If it had Snow Leopard on it you have an illegal verison of OS X, as the license for Lion and ML upgrades are not trasferable, they're also pretty useless to you because they're tied to the old owner's AppleID. If you are not sure or cannot find out then call AppleCare.
However if the machine originally shipped with Lion on it, the simply restart in the Restore Partion, do and erase and install and you're set. You can start in the Restore Partition by holding down the Command + R keys when you hear the startup tone and then choosing the Restore Partition and open Disk Utility.

BIOS password reset on hp 6930p

Hi All,
Please, help me to reset bios password on my HP 6930p.
Thanks in advance

There are no master password generators for ProBooks or EliteBooks and most business class laptops.
If you can boot and still access a Windows OS try this first.

Mazzif’s program will detect your UUID, Serial Number and model number then use that information to produce an .exe file to clear the password.
If you find it to be too technical then.
4. Replace the BIOS chip.

If you have good soldering skills order the BIOS chip. You will receive a picture of the chips location after purchase.

How can i change email address for security questions and password resets

I've noticed that my password reset requests are going to an old email acount. In fact, i am not sure where they are going.
the real issue is that i don't see a way to change it when i am logged in (it took me many tries to actually log back in) to my apple id account.
I've changed alternate email accounts, but again i don't see a way to change my destination email account for security section of the account.
Also i would rather reset these via text (ATT has this option for my cell phone account reset and i love it). I don't see an option like that from Apple at all.
Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated. Don't want to struggle with password resets every time i need to get in.

If you're able to supply two of your security answers, click here and follow the instructions to change your rescue email address.
If not, you need to contact Apple.

Can't download apps after password reset

Why won't my phone download any new apps after doing a password reset? If I enter the wrong password I get an error message. If I enter the correct password, nothing happens.

HI,
*"Or when I try to download a program I get this dark gray screen with a black column in the middle filled with gibberish."*
If it looks like this... it's a kernel panic.

Try downloading and installing the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
One of the fixes: -- an issue that prevented opening files downloaded from the Internet
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
And try Safari maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Quit Safari then relaunch.
While you have the Get Info window open for Safari, make sure it's not running in Rosetta.

Lost password and password reset utility doesn't work.

Kind of embarassing, but a couple of days ago I decided that it would be a good idea to change my password at three in the morning. Gah!
I tried using the password reset utility, but it would simply crash upon selecting my drive. I ran it from the terminal and it says that it's getting a bus error. I tried using passwd from single user mode, but it seems as though Apple has decided that that is a bad thing. Same goes for trying to run it from the terminal on the install disc.
What do I do now? Getting my files back won't be a problem, but I won't have the equipment to do that until I go home, and there are still a couple of weeks left in the semester. Being stuck using my guest account really *****!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This will give you root access to your computer:
1) Reboot into single usermode (Hold "Cmd" + "S")
2) At the Console # type:
fsck -fy
- This should come up OK after a minute, if not run it again
3) At the Console # type:
mount -uw /
4)At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root authentication_authority ";basic;"
- The above should be all on 1 line (this might format it to wrap a line)
5) At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root passwd
- This will reset the root password
6) At the Console # type:
reboot
7) You can now login with the username root

Apple ID not found. I know it exists because last password reset was on 3/2012. Did Apple delete my Apple ID?

So first I was having trouble resetting my Apple ID password. Now I think it may have been deleted. e
I automatically got signed out of Game Center and Find My Friends for which I use a different Apple ID account for. I think this happened after I upgraded to iOS 6 but not sure. I've tried to reset the password on http://appeid.apple.com using the two options.
Option 1) I don't get the email verification in my inbox (looked everywhere, even spam folder. I even added the [email protected] address to my contacts to make sure it wasn't being sent to a spam box, etc.).
Option 2) I enter my birthday but I get a message that it doesn't match with the records.
So then I went through the steps to find my Apple ID if it existed and what do you know, it says "No Apple ID found".
Could my Apple ID have been deleted? I thought Apple ID's "could not be deleted"? I know this Apple ID does exist (or did?) because my last password reset was in March 2012. I still have the old emails to prove it. I'll be so annoyed if it got deleted and all my Game Center stats are erased. (I got 11,600,000 in Temple Run!)
Other information:
I do have another Apple ID account which I use as my main account for purchases. For the rescue email and an alternate email address for this account, I use the email which is also the username of the other Apple ID account I am questioning about. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but just thought I'd put it out there in case it is.
Has this happened to anyone else? 2
I swear, this whole Apple ID nonsense started for me when trying to set up Facetime across devices on my macbook and ipad and had to make new apple ids. So confusing. Anyway, thanks in advance for any insight into this dilemma.

I'm having the same problem, what did you do?

I cannot get my password reset to start using iphone. Tried website and asked to send to my email address /also my user id and nothing coming. i called 800-275-2273 and guy said apple having issues no est time of fix?

I cannot get my password reset on apple itunes to start using my iphone. Tried website to reset password and asked to send email/same as user. Never getting email. Tried with my birthdate but that is not accepting. Called apple 8002752273 and guy told me Apple has had problems with this for weeks. Nothing he could do for me - i could answer all his security questions but birthdate. He said send a letter to itunes help , he could not provide. Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me? I checked itunes an of course there was not itunes email help available. Anyone have email for customer relations or phone# or know how to fix this?

"Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me?"
Where did you get that nonsense? Your involved question sounds like a hoax. Regardless, the phone number for Apple Customer Relations is: 800-767-2775.

HT201303 Random Apple id password resets - how to stop this?

A couple of months ago I started getting emails from Apple titled "How to reset your Apple Id password" and then more worryingly "Your Apple Id password has been reset". This happened several times over the next few days and I know this was not done by accident from me or my family because it was happening during the night UK time. I reported to Apple support and they were no help, in fact they deactivated my account until I told them to reactivate it again!
To me it seems like someone (or some system) is triggering the password reset online when trying to access my account.
After reporting it to Apple it stopped for a couple of months - now it started again! Several random resets during the night and day when I know no-one could be doing this from one of my devices.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any good ideas how to stop it? Any way to disable email authentication on the password reset and restrict to only the personal data questions?

Hi marky_mark_uk,
Two-step verification might be a good idea for you if you're seeing a lot of password reset issues you did not initiate:

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions instead of through E-mail. When I try retrieving my new Apple password through reset through security questions? On the Apple id, it will not allow me to do so becasue I forgot my security answers to the question. I'm naming one or two of the wrong vechiles which is what the questions ask me for for security questions.
For icloud do you reccommend that I keep that same E-mail address or create a new one for my iCloud mail aside from my G-mail address name?
I asked support community for the very first time to reset my security questions and it wanted me to create a new user name for iCloud when I already have *****l for my original Apple id.
<Email Edited By Host>

TheresaEW,
I’d recommend contacting Apple directly to resolve your security question issue.

HT4798 Does password reset with multiple Apple IDs work for you?

I'm using 10.7.4. We have more than one valid Apple ID. Each when attached to one user profile can make use of the password reset feature using the Apple ID. If more than one Apple ID is assigned to a profile it no longer allows either to reset the profile. Is there something that I'm missing?

Hmm if you've changed your password and go to the icloud preferences, it normally prompts you to input the password. This didn't happen? I would sign out of icloud and sign back in. It'll warn you for some items they'll be removed from your computer, and that's fine. They'll be stored in icloud and return when you sign back in. If you want to make sure they're in icloud before signing out, go to icloud.com and sign in. Poke around there to verify the data is there.

Apple is sending a password reset to an email address that does not exist. How do I update the email? Can't find it in my account.

Why is Apple sending an email to an address I can't find in my account??

Apple will not send you password reset requests in an email. It is likely a phishing email trying to get your personal or security information. Ignore the request and send the email to trash. Do not provide any personal or security information in response to the email. Do not click on any links in the email.
