Windows 10: Factory reset failed and my laptop is no longer usable. Can't login and logging in through...

I tried to perform a factory reset on my HP Victus laptop, following the proper instructions. It suddenly said it was "undoing changes" about 1/3 of the way through. Now I can't properly reset it or even log in. When I go into safe mode, it just shows a white screen with no interface. My mouse is visible, but I can't do anything with it, and it occasionally flickers the loading icon. What should I do? Do I just need to download Windows onto a flash drive and reinstall?

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".

 

Windows 10 Factory Reset Failed

Thank you for your response DaveM121

No, nothing else is connected to my laptop at all. I attempted the factory reset through the command prompt because it would fail (several times) by using the steps you're suggesting. It began the process and I waited at least 4 hours for it to slowly reach
a higher percentage (it got to more than 80%) and when I looked at the laptop again, there was a failure message.

 

Factory reset laptop and can no longer sign in.

I factory reset my laptop as it was becoming slow and knew a factory reset would help it run better by deleting everything. When it got back to the log in screen and I attempt to log in I get the message 'The User Profile Service failed to sign-in' and 'User Profile cannot be loaded'.

That's it, it returns to the sign in screen and doesn't give me the option to choose another account.

If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.
