I assume by saying there is already a password on the laptop, you're referring to a windows password, when the computer boots start tapping f8, you will be presented with a boot menu including safe mode, start windows normally etc... there should be an option for 'repair your computer' arrow down and hit enter. once windows recovery console loads click next a couple times and then you'll see another menu. the new menu should have a bunch of repair options one of which is restore to factory default. click that and follow the prompts. once it's done you'll have to go in and remove all the bloatware installed by the store.

Open the audio panel (settings -> control panel -> Sounds and audio devices -> volume). Check that the volume slide is all the way to the right. Also, click on the "speaker volume" button and check it is all the way to the right

How can i reset my hp pavilion laptop?

The easiest way to clean the laptop up is to reinstall windows and reformat the hard drive. Was there a set of recovery disks/CDs with this laptop? If so you can do a system recovery and get it to factory specs. If no disks are available you may be able to create them yourself. information on this procedure should be on the HP web site where you may be able to purchase a set of disks/CDs.
Good luck, I will check back to see how your doing.

Hello, I just bought a HP Pavilion P6000 series. It was a display model. After getting home I noticed I cant log into the main hard drive with admin rights with out a password. The store set a passcode...

Hi, I would contact the store and ask them what they set their password to. Without a restore or windows disk you won't be able to reset it to factory condition or reformat and reinstall windows. They should be able to give you the password and from there you can get in and change the password etc.
Thank you,
Lee

Type in HP.com, then go to support and downloads, fallow the instructions and pic your operating system.
Next, pic your sound drivers and load them.
