G60: Turn on the password, system to disable the code: 57770150. Attempt to restore. Have the disks.

It is an old laptop that I bought new week Windows 7 is out, but it is preloaded with Vista.  I got a product key for Windows 7 update but no real drive and did not recovery disc at the beginning.

2011. I had issues and called for what I thought was supported from Microsoft Tech (a number provided by Office Depot employee) and paid for support and allowed them access remotely.

Disreputable company or a person got deep into my system, networking, tried to steal files and installing keylogging and silent channel Skype file bombs and who knows what.  I got the files, file-by-file and moved to external drives, tried many times have this machine wiped and restored.  I have never trusted and ended upward abandonment and to buy a macbook air.  So my HP laptop is currently loaded with Microsoft 7 ultimate with a legitimate key from a school who worked on this subject, but I do not know if the restore was successful since it was never taken away from the factory with Vista settings, first.  I just gave up and set it aside.

On the fast track. A few months ago I decided that I wanted to use this machine again because it has a bigger screen for photo editing and may contain pictures, freeing up space on my macbook air flowing.  However, even with my tip, I could not remember my old password journal.  I finally found a way to bypass my password login, but in the process of game one power new password.  I didn't try anything fancy and can not remember how or why I did it, even.  I was sure it was just my name or a generic name like "admin" or "password"... so I was happy I got, but still had reservations so I did some updates and ordered the Vista restore disks and set it aside again.

Argh.  So now I was ready to move some files from my mac and was almost convinced myself just to use the disks of Vista to default and I DON'T remember the power on password... (I am sure that I would have written this down in the notes on my iphone... but unfortunately, I dropped on concrete a week or two ago and cannot access my notes!)

After a few attempts, I get code: disable the system - 57770150.

It's a bit like Moby * beep * now.  I have no cash or motivation to buy another laptop.  I really want to get THIS phone, which was basically stolen from me to solve some problems at the moment (free space on my mac).

A I completely screw this up after all this?  I've read about taking batteries or pins... never tried it before, but I'm not afraid to take risks because I've already lost everything I could lose on that.

Is there a way to restore discs if I can't power up password screen?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I realize account this message is long, but it's a complicated scenario and I thought that the history of malware, remote access, set at level vista/windows, may be of interest...

Thank you!
