no such thing, in 2018, HP does not support it now. ended ! LONG LONG AGO. desktop PC, relic? (hp/compaq) uses 5000 in many different PC) factory,reset (what does that mean?) reset to WHAT? no symptoms stated, , NO OS STATED< wow, is it windows, windows what? it has version W2K ; is windows dead, that it? BIOS reset BIOS password reset windows password reset windows XP dead? so want to reset (called a full fresh reload of the OS its called) that?> windows 2000? 5000 the OLD Pentium 4 PC, (relic)? this old pig? 10 years old today, with zero street value. $0 why spend money on any PC this old,? with that funny thing there a FLOPPY drive? this old? this PC will not run modern OS. at all. W7 if lucky I bet not. this PC runs Windows 2000,, or W2K we say, there is no HP recover partition on this old PC, that happened 7 years later, so only CDs reload the this PC here. period;. the free books shows it runs windows 98, SE ,w2k. not even XP yet, some of these PC made next year 2001 had XP, and runs explorer 6

the battery is a 47wh, 6 cell,lithium ion battery this is a battery pack made up of 6 separate batteries and what you have a indicates that one of those batteries is failing you will need to get the new pack to fix the problem go on line to Compaq web site spares to get a new one or search on e-bay-- battery for Compaq laptop make sure that you charger is charging before you order as well

its PC, PC have many layers, of resets. (not counting lost BIOS passwords of any kind,, that adds to the list , ) layer 1, is BIOS reset, seen clearly in the BIOS pages. says there, go back to factory defaults (just BIOS) layer, 2: windows, but you never said which one? XP,Vista, W7/8/10? To reset windows, there is no such thing, in windows at all. ask MS that and get that answer, (then tells how, with media) That means the actual windows, running has no reset. (but one can spend a week or life time cleaning it....) what does this RESET, is the HP recovery process. AKA: reLOADING windows from scratch. the next step for me is carbon dating your PC, it's 12 years old now, 2006 but that is the CUSP year that HP started doing F11 KEY recoveries. so that means i must read the manual to you here goes. bingo Page B12. see link at end, 1st google hit, btw. power on and hammer F11, key verbatim. this works and takes you back to 2006 with all data gone (yours) and all added APPS gone, not HP apps there DAY1, those be OK (reality 101) now how can this fail, sure, easy as cherry pie it can here is the list.

• you changed out the HDD from 2006 to now,
• you upgraded the PC OS not using HP disks or HP media kits. (boom)
• your HDD is bad. run full disk tests now. most this old are bad
• the HDD partition called HP recovery is damaged. super common on 12 year old PC.
• the PC is sick, (huge list here , hardware!!)

check power source then test battery

CQ57 what, it has full service tag. what is the tag tell you. post that please. http://pcdied.com/TAG-jive/tag.html with that the manual on your PC is 100x time more easy to find on that matches perfectly is the correct book. and then all things you can push is covered here is my wild guess. this?> https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/compaq-presario-cq57-200-notebook-pc-series/5091489/model/5111956/manuals are you asking for all keys to glow in the dark or asking how to type blindly in the dark, be so nice of you to tell why you need this feature, no? or only the normal keys, caps lock. Num lock. name a key or some. the above manual shows no such thing why do you expect this.? others have it and you dont and therefore want it? others have differnent PCs. others have disktop and then bought $100 keyboard that does that from CORSAIR. like mine ,now.

ask them ,ask instrgram we are fixya not them we dont write the code nor do policy for them and can change in SECONDS.

Im guessing you meant black screen totally never text there. does the monitor work on other PC as it must?? simple no? if yes, it is good and the unstated PC is bad. if not, the monitor is bad, if this old monitor is very old 2 things fail. 1: CCFL lamps inside all died long ago. 2010 or older. 2: the screen saver inside IT is turned on, turn that off. push the menu button on the LCD monitor. then in the OSD turn off sleep TIMER clock.. lets say unstated PC is dead. 1: is the fans dead,? if desktop 2 fans must be good, spin and blow air and not be packed up in lint as most old PC are. heard ,seen to turn, and felt to blow.(air flow must happen) 2: does the DVD tray eject.

ok we finally get the model"Cq61 420us" made 2009, not too old.I cant see your screen to be sure where it is locked. this PC has UEFI technologyand as such and turned on , only HP can unlock this device. the exact message seen is not stated"user lock codes" bios or windows locked?do you see the windows login screen at all?now we go to HP, they own COmpaq.100%and askHP has a support pagehttps://support.hp.com/us-en/product/compaq-presario-cq61-400-notebook-pc-series/4074240/model/4121168/manualsask HP.com how to reset it.there is a way, but fixya is NOT HP.Comsorry, we are not HP.ask herehttps://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=Cq61+420us&collapse_discussion=truesee others asking there?sure.did you do the HP long reset first?battery large outthen line cord offpush power on for 30 secondsrelease.not use just AC power , as the 9 year old battery will be bad, and worse shorted.leave the huge battery out for now. run on AC>then tell the helper all words on the screenall logos. all graphics seen there,even if the w7 log on screen shows.then we can proceed.

restat? stacked? i have no idea these words? elaborate please . tell what you do right and it does, wrong (a story) my wild guess is the touch pad is failing and no usb mouse attached,(hand held mouse) that? what OS is this , XP? The mouse pad can be bad. so can the mouse pad driver be corrupted , missing or wrong one installed. start by telling the helper what OS, click the (CP) control panel, click system' the OS you run is presented to you there, in words. windows what. then CP (again, then click device manager) under "Mice and other pointing devices." see the mouse pad there, the driver there must not be missing or red or yellow marks ore UNKNOWN. there are more tests and actions, but I stop here, or get it repaired in a PC repair shop. (captain obvious sorry)

what Linuxnon stated, of 100s.why post lacking such key facts.NO PC sated, just a nebuluas complaq.no OS stated, just linux somethingwhy not ask on YOUR linux forum.try Ubuntu? yet?best is to match PC old to Linux old.but be impossible for me to guess what PC you own.

If prompted, try 46090204 If another number other than 59392622, try entering it in the following web site to get another number generated. https://bios-pw.org/

when does this error happen1: boot black screens before the windows login screen.?2: after boot and login, and disktop shows.?3: does it only happen running apps. or running IE11.4: only doing what? fill in the blank here _______?but this PC is 10 years oldand needs a new RTC coin cell.and you need to run HDD tests, if it dont boot.terry's link above is correct one to real HP.and very good.but COMPAQ facts are hard to find today. this old.is this a BIOS password screen , showing system disabled, if yes that is only cured by direct help from HP ,they have a magic back door passwordfor all old PC by them (HP/compaq)next time show a photo of errors, 10x more easy.to answer....

had this laptop myself, you need to remove all the drivers for the wifi and delete the files and folders.. download the driver from HP, reboot the laptop and it should install the windows driver. reboot again and then install the HP driver, when you have done this and its working make sure windows cannot update drivers ever again as windows installs wrong drivers. windows 10 is prone to installing the updated drivers that are not compatible with this model. like mouse pad. max version is 18. windows puts 19 on and it makes over driver incompatible.

NO PC stated ,wow now that is hard , no? 1984 to 2018 PCs (1000s of types made !)compaq to 2013 ends.NO OS stated, windows, yes?, what windows, XP, vista ,what?seems to me, the BIOS barfs on your Processor.my guess is you changed mother boards, and used the wrong processor.? (or the reverse)learn that the BIOS must be able to recognize the processor in the POST process.(for sure lots of causes other)does it do that (laptop) with the main battery the huge heavy battery , that is now shorted and dead.?you post and not even say desk or laptop. wow.is it a Proliant Server? or Z600 with 2 non matching Xenon processors, gee, must I guess it all?>why not just post your service tag data.and say what OS is running, even windows servers.the HP manuals on your PC clearly state what processor on that exact model and P/N on the service tag.clear as day.as will the hp parts surfer.varies by country too. see this, if you answer all the questions there, bingo what yours had and what processor options are supported.on newer PC HP 10 years or less the BIOS update page also lists added processors under"details" there you go.http://partsurfer.hp.com/search.aspx
