Windows 10: How do I set up windows after a factory reset? - keep getting a white screen

Hello,I have purchased a second hand HP Stream laptop that has been given a factory reset. I am trying to set up windows. It has Cortana which has prompted me to select language, type of keyboard, set up the WiFi, log into Microsoft and set a pin. It then has a screen that talks about connecting to a mobile phone device. It has the option of skip and remind me later. No matter which one I select the next screen that comes up is white and I cannot move on further. I've no idea when it comes to computers and I wondered if anyone knows what I should do? Is the laptop broken?Many thanks in advance

Screen is completely white after factory reset completes

Hello, my pc is connected to a screen, not a monitor. I was going to factory reset my pc to get room since my dad had a bunch of data used up before he passed me the computer. So I did the steps of resetting the computer and having a fresh one. After it gets pass the black screen that says “Resetting Pc %#” and I was watching and it reached 100, but after that it’s completely white. I tried ctrl+alt+del and turning the pc on and back off, but nothing works. Theres no cursor or anything. Just a white screen and I cant do anything on the screen either. I’ve been waiting for atleast 1 hour and probably more depending on when you see this but nothing changed.

 

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".
