Windows 10: How can I reset my laptop when the USB fails?

My daughter's laptop HP 15-ac143wm had gotten to the point that it needed to be factory reset. I used the onboard tools to create a recovery drive on a USB 32GB USB driveWindows 10 and then attempted to factory reset the system using that restore drive. The recovery tool makes it 92%, and I am then presented with a message that the reset failed. There is no reason given. When I power down, remove the USB drive, power up the system and press F11 I am told that there is no bootable device detected. At this point I have a useless laptop. Any help wouild be appreciated.

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".
