  1. Windows is not activated from the hard reset back to factory settings


    I recently needed to hard reset my windows back to the factory settings. I used the preinstalled windows that was on the computer's hard drive. After a few days of use i noticed that I need to activate my windows. I can't find the key with the laptop or box that i bought the laptop in. Error code 0xC004C003 I tried the troubleshoot button in the activation page, but it was also having an issue that it can't connect to the internet which is weird as i am writing this message now on the same laptop.

    :)

    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".

  3. Reset to factory settings

    Hi,. I have an HP Envy Phoenix with 1 Tb hard drive....64 bit.

    It was originally a Windows 7 computer that I upgraded to Windows 10. I decided to do a factory reset and set it to start Friday night andwhenI looked at it Saturday it was still going.....12 hours. I restarted the computer and it started up with the HP symbol and a turning circle.....then HP symbol goes away but the spinning circle remains.

    I got on the phone with HPsupport and he tried a few things that didn't work.....computer goes to HP as soon as the box gets here.

    Any suggestions....I hate to be without my computer.

    .thanks

  4. Windows is not activated from the hard reset back to factory settings

    how do i reset a asus laptop to factory settings?

    The process of resetting an Asus laptop to factory settings can vary depending on the model and operating system. However, here are the general steps you can follow:



    1. Back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud storage as resetting your laptop to factory settings will erase all data.
    2. Press the "F9" key repeatedly while the Asus laptop is booting up. This will take you to the recovery menu.
    3. Select "Restore factory settings" from the menu.
    4. Follow the prompts to confirm the reset process.
    5. Wait for the reset process to complete, which may take several minutes.
    6. Once the reset is complete, your Asus laptop will be restored to its original factory settings.
