  1. My laptop can't boot after reset and repair


    I did a factory reset to my laptop, but to my surprise I couldn't create an account nor log in to only one available account which was "other user" - tried to log in with microsoft account, but couldn't.
    > I've read that I should try to create an account on administrator acount, so I got into safe mode and logged in, but got black screen with pop-up error 'C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop location is not available',

    > then I've rebooted my laptop and while trying to get into that administrator account again I got a warning, it was sth like "hard error" and then my admistrator account has become disabled

    > I've tried to restore the image - couldn't because there was apparently no administrator account (or so the laptop said)

    -then I've tried to repair my laptop and got a message that it can take more than an hour, after that my laptop couldn't boot, still showing lenovo logo, then black screen, then windows logo with "wait" underneath it, then black screen again. These four images on the neverending loop.

    I have no clue what to do now, so if someone could please guide me, I would highly appreciate it.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Laptop won't boot, restart, repair, or reset

    Hi,



    To resolve the issue I suggest you to do a disk repair on your computer following these steps:




    • On a working PC, go to the
      Microsoft software download website
      .

    • Download the media creation tool and then run it.

    • Select Create installation media for another PC.

    • Choose a language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit).

    • Follow the steps to create installation media, and then select
      Finish.

    • Connect the installation media you created to your nonfunctional PC, and then turn it on.

    • On the initial setup screen, enter your language and other preferences, and then select
      Next. If you're not seeing the setup screen, your PC might not be set up to boot from a drive. Check your PC manufacturer's website for info on how to change your PC's boot order, and then try again.

    • Select Repair your computer.

    • On the Choose an option screen, select
      Troubleshoot. From there, you can:

    • Restore from a system restore point by selecting
      Advanced options > Command Prompt and run Check Disk: chkdsk.


    Hope the above steps help.



    Thank you.

    Windows 10 Advanced Options Menu to Repair


    I would try the following steps in order:

    1. Remove the laptop main battery for a few minutes - may reset something
    2. Load BIOS defaults
    3. Install Macrium Reflect Free on another PC, create a Reflect USB repair disk then use that disk to repair your laptop
    4. Recover from backup if you have one
    5. Perform a Windows 10 repair install - see instructions on this forum

    My laptop can't boot after reset and repair

    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".
