computer help: how do I reset my computer to original settings without a system disk? - Help.com

Put in reinstall disk

every time i get on my compute and listen to tha musice at tha same time it shuts tha internet down

how do I reset my computer

it worked for me

I’m sorry I;m not helping here, but on a similar note…

I’m trying to restore my computer to the original factory setting. I tried System Restore, but it will only allow me to “Restore to an earlier date” and thats only a month ago. Is there any way I can restore it manually and without a restore disk?

i need help i start my comp it gets to the point where it says windows xp and the little bar moves along the bottom but then after that it just goes blank the computer is still running but its not on the screen plz help

I’m having a problem with my laptop at the moment which needs restoring to factory settings. As someone earlier said System Restore will only allow me to go back to a certain point not that long ago. I dont have the disk to restore it so any suggestions or ideas on how I can restore it manually?

I put in my CDs and followed the instructions. The computer boots a lot faster but still my computer’s internet will only work in Safe Mode not in regular mode and all of the files and programs I was hoping would be erased, were not. ??

“radiant700″ what does the battery look like, i have a hp desktop ??????

looks like a big oversized watch battery

to reset your computer to factory setting , you need , first , the operating system CD that is to supposed to come with your computer or laptop.If you do so , then restart your computer , insert the CD , and then keep pressing F8 untill the cd will run automatically . all what you have to is follow the instruction .

www.mycomputersystem.net

It sounds to me that your BIOS has lost it’s firmware.
If you backed up your BIOS settings on a floppy, you can reload the BIOS settings this way.
If You have recently Updated your BIOS with a Flash program to update the firmware,
you may have gotten the wrong Bios update.

I would like to introduce Windows Password Key 8.0 . it not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It creates a password recovery CD/DVD,USB Flash Drive for home, business and enterprise. It works perfectly to reset your Windows password. You can download it from http://www.lostwindowspassword.com

This sounds pretty interesting. We used a similar software at my tech support job a few years ago. Called “Windows Password Key 8.0″.
It works very prefect to regain your password .Also use boot CD/DVD.

last night I installed a old printer that we had into my Acer 3680 laptop and apparently I installed it wrong. Well now when I try to reboot my computer it won’t work. I have tried everything and i’m to the point where I want to throw it out the back door. It keeps saying windows failed and it won’t even pull up the login page. I also don’t have the disk that came with the laptop. PLEASE HELP!

can anyone please tell me how to rebot my acer aspire computor it has windows vista i have been trying to reboot it for over month now and i am still stuck please help me i am gin crazy

I want a vista softwere cd.

I have downloaded windows password Recovery Basic. It is a very quick and useful utility for recovering passwords. Just an easy to use bootable CD/DVD . It can also be used on a USB Flash Drive. http://www.windowspasswordrecovery.net/

set them all on fire or plug them in and drop in bath tub allow to dry and burn them this will fix all the problems with any pc laptop. also works for all home appliances, cars, and electronics.

i want to reboot my cpu window Xp but i dont have cd
how do i do?

Firstly windows has an account called “administrator” which doesn’t normally show up on the welcome screen but you can get to it either by booting in safe mode (it does show up on the welcome screen when in safe mode) or by pressing ctrl+alt+del at the welcome screen to get an old fassioned login dialog. Often this account will have no password on it.

If the administrator account is locked out or has a password on it then there is a third party password reset and account unlocking tool available from http://www.windows-logon-password.com/

I also know a windows password recovery tool which can easily bypass windows password http://www.top-password.com/ ,including your forgotten windows administrator password and user passwords.

Folks..I noticed that some of you have suggested for people to use the system restore feature on a computer. The problem is I have known people that have never created a restore point for their computers . so in some instances..the system restore feature would be useless at this point..if you are having issues with getting limited connectivity on your computer, I suggest going to microsoft’s website and there are articles that take you step by step on how to reset the connection back to its original settings. Here’s another tip…If you plan to use the system restore disks , you have to make sure that the computer has not had any upgrades done to it since it was purchased. If you put more RAM or changed the size of the hard drive or replaced the motherboard in a computer and try to use the system recovery disks..the disks may not work because the computer has to have the same hardware in it that was in the computer when it was purchased. I myself am trying to find out how to make recovery disks for my computer because i have the original windows vista on this computer and it has had almost or more than 200 updates including windows service pack 2. It took forever to reload this computer from the beginning and then downloading all the updates that were added to the original version of windows. I just want you to understand that if you reload your computer with the recovery disks..be prepared to load a lot of updates and re-installing all the anti-virus software and any other software you previously loaded into your computer

if you want to reset your computer to change settings or something i recommend you buy a new and better PC or laptop for yourself instead of reseting your PC justs like what they said or you could you the system restore point which can be found in control panel.

If you forgot your windows xp password, you can download a software at http://www.reset-windows-password.com
Last week I lost my windows xp password. At last, I found it and reset my windows password successfully.

I had the same problem as you. when i try to boot up in safe mode, holding down the f8 key it, opens in the same window as before, asking for my password. This kind of situation can only use the third party software.I think Windows Password Reset 9.0 is very great. http://www.reset-windows-password.com…

Change the password without using the only admin password for permissions, you can download a windows 7 password tool. I know Windows Password Reset 9.0 is a good windows 7 password tool. copy its official site http://www.reset-windows-password.com I downloaded it and used it to remove the lost password within only few minutes. I hope you could also do it.

At one time I forgot windows password. And then, I downloaded a file and created a windows password reset disk. I successfully reset the forgotten password with the disk. http://windowspassword-reset.blogspot…

when my computer turns on and reboots, it asks me for my Windows7 password, which i forgot. i cannot locate my installation CD that came with the computer and i tried saving the password reset to USB and i have had no luck….please help me.

I suggest you try hard to remember your windows passwords, and try them a few times. If this still doesn’t word, You have only two ways to solve this problem. Reinstall Windows or reset the old password with windows password reset tool. I do not recommend you to reinstall Windows, which may lead a data loss. So if you really can not remember the password, try following steps: 1. Download Window Password Seeker on another PC. 2. It is an ISO file. Burn the ISO file to a CD/DVD or a USB flash drive. 3. Boot the locked computer from CD/DVD and remove Windows password More info: http://www.passwordseeker.com/howtous…

My laptop wont turn comptetely on. It will show a bar at the bottom saying Windows is loading files then the screen goes blank and doesnt do anything! I have tried so many things, one of my friends suggested for me to clear everything on my laptop by clicking f12 but it doesnt work that just shows me a bunch of different things! So if anyone could help me fix my laptop i’d really appreciate it! I have an Acer Aspire.

so f11 will restore your computer to factory settings but what if your recovery partition is removed then what can you do?
