• reset the factory default DV6 hp pavilion

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV6 aged of 5 years I want to restore factory settings in order to give to my nephew.

  I either lost or never done a system recovery disks. The computer did not come with recovery discs.

  The computer came pre-installed with Vista. However I've since upgraded to Win7 with the free update that was offered to me at the time of purchase.  There is a recovery D: drive / partition on the computer.  However, when I try to perform a system restore, restore HP cannot find the recovery D: partition, nor make an option to select.  How can I reset this computer to the factory settings? Even if he comes back to Vista, what would be good, and then I could use the Win7 upgrade disk to return to 7.  I just need to reset everything back to default values, and none of the normal methods of recovery work.  PLEASE NOTIFY.

  Yet once again, giving us the full model name and product number (p/n) of the computer in question, will make it easier for help us to you.

  As CherylG pointed out... If you are going to install the Windows 7 upgrade, do first and you won't have to worry about the IE8 on Vista issue. You may need to put Vista SP1 before upgrading to Windows 7.

  If you intend to keep Vista on the computer, you may need to install SP1 or SP2 before installing IE8. The service packs may not show in Windows Update until the other updates have been installed.

  MSE even requires that you use a minimum of Vista SP1 before it will install.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• My office has been reset to the factory settings. I am enrolled in my sync account, but my favorites that are on my laptop, did not came to the top. Now what?

  I was fortunately sync-ed a year betweem my computer laptop Mac iBook and desktop HP - a lot of bookmarks - I am a student. My office had a small problem and I got it clean and reset to the factory settings. I'm now creating upward. I installed Firefox and made Google my default search engine. Then I logged in sync - no problem (even email, password... I wrote it!) I clicked sync, but my favorites are not come to the top. I closed Firefox and re-opened, but still no bookmarks. I looked at the settings and everything is checked. I wouldn't change anything. What Miss me? Thank you.

  Both devices use new synchronization and more importantly on Firefox 30.

  If you you don't need the synchronization of the former, and even if you use the same address as used for synchronization of the old all should operate under the new synchronization.

  I think that the new synchronization drops devices that have not synchronized within the past 21 days.

• Setting up Deskjet 6988 for wireless printing after a reset to the factory settings, using Mac OS 10.8

  Hi - How re - connect to my printer wirelessly after a reset to the factory settings? I use Mac OS 10.8. The network on the printer flashes, and on the Mac, it is listed as "not connected". And the page of report confirms that he has lost all of its data.

  Fortunately, I made a report page before resetting, so I think that I know all of the critical information, I need to come back here, but I can't figure out how to do this.

  I read the installation guide, who said to use an ethernet cable and the CD of HP, but I don't have the CD anymore.

  I tried an ethernet cable and entering the IP address of the printer, but which did not, perhaps because it has more this IP address.

  I tried the steps hereand downloaded the latest version of the HP update software software, but I don't see my printer. I went from my wifi to hpsetup network and then I could see and add a second new instance of my printer, but it did not help, because this second instance of the printer is not connected or the other.

  Interestingly, when I am connected to hpsetup, I can print.

  Can someone help me to re - connect this printer? I'll save the reason for reset for another post!

  Thank you very much!

  FIXED! Sunshyne2005, thanks a lot to direct me to the solution!

  Here's what worked:

  1. Connect to hdsetup
  2. Press the report Page button on the printer (the one with the box)
  3. Continue with step 3 of the Sunshyne2005: open a browser and enter the IP address of hdsetup.
  4. Look around for the wireless configuration wizard (sorry, I can't access is no longer hdsetup, and I just don't remember where it is)
  5. Enter the SSID (name) of the wireless network and the password
  6. Note: You will see a button to finish, but it has no effect. At this point, the printer is successfully added to the wireless network and access the hdsetup disappears. Therefore, the wizard will no longer work, but the important thing is that the printer is connected. : )

  Thanks again, Sunshyne2005!

• Reset to the factory settings without restoration. Why do I see previous contacts?

  I have a new 5 iPhone.

  I added 6 contacts, 2 new downloaded applications. Saved on iCloud and iTunes.

  I had a very old Apple ID with an email address that I no longer use.

  I created a new Apple ID online by using this:

  Change your Apple - Apple Support ID

  Probably because of something, that I was wrong, there is a conflict between this new Apple ID and one on my iPhone.

  No problem. Because I only had 6 contacts and two additional applications, I decided to reset to the factory settings. I do NOT accept the offer to restore a backup.

  So I guess I now have a new phone out-of-the-box.

  In fact, my 6 contacts were always present. The two extra apps were not present.

  I would be very grateful if someone could explain why the 6 contacts are always present.

  I wonder how many other things could be hiding somewhere, which would not be present out-of-the-box.

  You can use a computer and connect to https://www.icloud.com/ and check the Contacts app it (under the two identifications of Apple as I'm not sure of the exact sequence of events that you did). If they are there and if you have settings > iCloud > Contacts under tension, which could explain from whence they came. With this setting, any changes to the Contacts is immediately synchronized between iCloud and the phone as soon as it is connected to iCloud.

• Service Pack 1 will not install after that the pc has been reset to the factory settings

  At my pc reset due to problems of crashing and freezing factory settings, when turned on after resetting received masses of updates Service Pack 1 has not been installed, but it shows in the story as being successful. He reappears in the form of waiting for update installation, but when the terms & Condtions accepted the installation takes a few seconds, history shows successful but it has not yet installed. So I can't install SP2 to update Internet Explorer 9

  Hello.

  Thanks for the reply. I found a previous question with a similar problem as mine, there was a solution that I followed and was able to install SP1. I should have done this before my question!
  I also installed SP2. Resetting to the factory settings was a last resort due to a problem I was experiencing, but after installation of SP2 my original problem reappears. The problem is now in terminal phase and looks like a new pc.
  In any case, once again thanks for your help, I know where to go with future questions I have.

• «Go back to the factory default» deletes all documents and data personal?

  I'm selling my laptop, so return to the factory default. Someone can always retrieve driver information? Thank you.

  Moved to virus & malware

  Original title: Is 'back to factory default' totally Virgin pilot?

  Sorry I misread your message. As says factory setting puts your computer in the State in which it was when it left the factory. However, a person determined using equipment may be able to retrieve the information you make refers to.  There is a software that allows to avoid this.  For example, CCleaner has a facility that erase the drive.  But again this is not a 100% solution. The only 100% is to destroy the hard drive.  Having said all that I don't worry about this unless you have sensitive information on your computer, or there is very incriminating information stored on your computer.

  PS: If you think about it, you will understand that when you delete something on your computer you are not really delete, everything you do delete the index.  The information remains until it is crushed and even in this case, certain information may be recoverable.

• Reset the factory default ssd is a sure way to wipe ssd

  Using Windows7 64 bit, I have an option when reformatting a SSD (Kingston 64 GB V series with trim support) reset to factory default. Is that what will happen a secure erase so that I can sell the car without the risk of someone access to my personal information such as banking details online?

  Thank you

  Alan

  Hey AlanTaylor_854,

  To answer your question Yes Alan, when you wipe a SSD or 'format' you erase all the information out of him, so that your personal information will no longer be on this disk.

  I hope that this was the answer you are looking for.
  Thanks for posting of Microsoft Answers!

• HP8600 Pro: how to reset to the factory settings

  Hello

  I googled this and don't read several threads on this forum, no solution is never publicly displayed for this (VERY frustrating) problem and apparently only sent by email or PMs.  So, here I am how I completely reset my printer in order to change the configuration of the network?  All options are locked (including the option 'Restore the default settings of the network', so please don't ask me to do, I already checked and cannot access this option).  I also do NOT have access to the EWS connection info and who cannot access either.

  Nobody has ever owned this printer before, I bought it new a product typical and am only asking because I have the problem of "flashing lights" (as infamous) after the passage of routers.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Have you tried the control panel:
