Windows 10: Can not factory reset my pc

Okay so my brother received a new laptop for school and gave me his desk top. It is an HP Pavilion 20 all in one desktop with 4gb of ram, a dual core processor, well it turns out it is only pushing half of what it has. So I went to factory reset it so I could sell it because I like gaming and this is not the pc for me. Turns out it is missing allot of what it needs to factory reset it. I do not know what to do. I do know it originally had windows 8.something and when they let WND8 be upgraded to windows 10 he did it. There is no windows 8 files no recovery disk. I do not know what this jackass did but the state he left it in is garbage. HOW CAN I GET IT BACK TO NORMAL??? and no I do not have CD, DVD, OR USB. I do have some experience working with Running Commands on Windows and Linux on a step by step basis. I have decent download speed. Just wanted to put all that because I assumed assumptions would be made and questions would be asked so there is the whole deal. can anyone give me some advice?

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
