Reset Windows 8.1 Product is hp pavilion g6/ g6-2210us

OS: Windows 8.1
My computer was hacked (I think). At the start up instead of letters it is a bunch of random symbols that I did not know existed. I tried typing in my regular password it didn't work. The shutdown, restart, and sleep button is no longer there. 
I dont't know what happend or what to do. If I can I will upload a picture of the screen. It is also running very slow. So if I could I would like to reset my computer to a factory default.
Yes I have the disk.
Thanks for any help.
This question was solved.

  • How do I enable TPM in the bios on Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

    Hi,
    I have run into a problem trying to enable MS Bitlocker on Windows 8.1 on
    Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
    BIOS version is: F.1C
    In the Windows UI, the TPM (Trusted Computing Module) management console says that I need to enable TPM in the BIOS.
    Issue:
    There does not appear to be any proverbial "on" switch in the BIOS for TPM versions 1.2 (or 2).
    Question:
    Anyone out there know how to resolve this?
    I know there may be a way to get around this using group policy on the machine or to buy a USB key solution. 
    Looking for the hardware solution in the laptop if possible please.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi:
    As far as I am aware, HP consumer notebooks do not have a Trusted Platform Module chip.
    Check the device manager...if there is a TPM chip, there will be a Security Devices category in the device manager, and you would see the TPM chip listed under that category.
    If not, then there isn't one.

    Hi ,
    I have no sound on my computer, beside the speaker symbol in the toolbar is a red 'x'. When I press this it says detecting problems and then it says- 'Problem - one or more audio services isn't running' and then 'not fixed' beside that.
    I investigated to see which audio service it was that wasn't functioning and it turns out that Windows Audio Service  is failing to run.
    How do I resolve this problem?

    Hi,
    Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Properties.  Click the Driver tab and then click 'Update driver'.  Select 'Browse my computer for driver software' and then select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.  Left click 'High Definition Audio Device' once to highlight it and then click the Next button to install it.
    Has this made any difference?

  • How to Reset Windows 2008/R2 Domain Administrator Password

    How to Reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain Administrator password if forgot or lost it?
    It is annoying and bad to forget a Windows Server 2008/r2 Domain administrator login password. It is troublesome unless you have that Windows Server 2008/r2 password reset disk. We can still find several tricks to reset Windows Server Domain password but they require a mass of operations and waste a lot of time. For example, you can reset Windows Server 2008/R2 domain administrator password with an installation disk but it requires you to type a mass of command line. So today I want to share everyone an omnipotent method to reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain/local administrator password. You need the following 3 things.
    An accessible PC.
    A USB/CD/DVD flash drive.
    The Windows password reset tool Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer.
    Then it requires 4 steps as below:
    Step 1: Download and install Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer into that accessible computer.
    Step 2: Burn it to the flash drive.
    Step 3: Boot your Windows Server computer from the flash drive.

    More details in this video: Windows Server 2008 R2 Password Reset - Reset Domain or Local Password.

    It wasn't difficult to reset the domain password and I think Microsoft's policy of not providing an easy forward way is to create an
    illusion of security which is not there. Linux systems that are much more secure that MSFT software allow easy password reset when physical access is there so why not include the same tools in System Repair tools or using F8?
    Anyhow, this guide helped me reset the password in 5 minutes. Read the bottom of it to find the scripted / automatic version of the process:
