Hi,

See this link to restore you HP mini to factory defaults

if you want to do the factory default setting then you need to install the operating system with the help of recovery cd's.

if you have the recovery cd's you need to connect the usb external cd/dvd drive to the computer.

if you don't have the recovery cd's you can get it from www.hp.com or you can call hp telephone support they will help you out.

Try this...right before it boots up hit Ctrl key-F11 key. This works for my dell PC. Restores setting to factory default. It may work for you since it's same vendor.
