    My HP15-f272wm laptop is not accepting my admin pw/pwr on pw. I try 3 times and it tells me invalid pw and disables my pc. The only option is to shutdown pwr up and try again, I cannot bios setup, recover or change boot order( esc, f2, f9, f11, f12 or
    delete. please I just got this laptop and it's a beauty.

    Admin PW reset

    admin active and know pw cannot log in as admin no options available...HELP!!!!

    have made it active and reset the pw at a dos level although it was on an x:\ drive. we are not sure what drive that is. went to the root of c:\ and tried to find a recovery partition but did not see a d:\. when it boots up, you only have one user available.
    It does not allow me to change users at login.

    Also, is there a way to recover the files that have been deleted?(go to recycle bin etc) I was not the original admin of this machine which is why i had to reset the pw and go active on the default admin.
