Need to reset computer to factory settings erasing passwords
As far as I know, the original zd8000 operating system is Windows XP. If you have Windows 7 installed, then you need to get Windows 7 disc and its product key. If you need the Windows XP reinstallation media, then you can use HP Windows XP reinstallation disc only (for example: HP Windows XP Professional with SP2 disc).

To fix this, you'll need a Vista DVD and a working DVD drive. It doesn't have to be the original DVD that came with your computer, you can use any Vista disc.
Put the disc into your hard drive and boot from it. The process differs depending on your BIOS, but the most likely way is to go into your BIOS settings (Press DEL when the computer boots), search for "Advanced Settings" and for anything that sounds like "Boot Order", then change your first device to your CD/DVD Drive. Save the settings and reboot your computer.
Once you've booted from the disc, press "Repair" - you'll be greeted with a screen with several options. One of these should be "Startup Repair", press it and let it do its job. When it finishes, reboot your computer: your problem should be fixed now.
If this doesn't work, follow the same steps to boot from the Vista DVD, but this time choose "Command Prompt" when the option appears. In the command prompt type:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Answer "yes" if it asks you about your installation path.

You are in way over your head. You don't have the disk, you dont know about the possibility of a restore feature on your computer nor the Windows rswtore features - please take your computer to someone who can do what you want. At BEST - this is a difficult task and it is often unnecessary.
