How to reset an HP 635 Windows 7 laptop without a disc.(dvd)

Does the manual cover this, I'm told yes. but where is that,?

    Larry Ng May 18, 2022

    not told why doing this. (why always matters)
    so we can be on the same page, and not LOSE DATA if there is data to lose.

    OS virus infected now.?
    or got it from someone elses PC and want to start fresh.?
    or selling PC and want it day1 reset?
    or new HDD needed now failing, or bigger hdd
    or new SSD? needed. fast is goal, sure !
    or>???????????????????????
    I can only guess RESET = fresh Install.
    and F11 key failed per the manual RTM?
    is the D:/HP recovery partition missing?

    open book read chapter recovery and LOST THE DISC.

The manual on your PC covers this topic.
the chapter i called RECOVERY
all 3 ways are covered, but you said NO disk and that leaves just 1.
or buy w10 and install it, way 4.
HP.com this PC shows no w10 support at all. here.

your page is here, hp.com

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-635-notebook-pc/5086719/manuals


page 99 is the page (no disk) page

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02834036.pdf


as it says clearly on some models.
in the C: drive look for 2 HP folders. tools and recovery
if you see recovery there than it has one

or power on and hammer ESC key see bios menu pop
and press F11, (as the page 99 directs you)
goes back to day 1 new PC state. if hdd not bad and he OS not upgraded from xp to vista or vista to w7. it goes back to day1,
what was there then. 2011 year new.w8, IDK what was there.
page 7 states this: all this on one manual. correct.

Windows 7 Home Basic, Service Pack 1
(64- and 32-bit)
?Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack
1 (64-bit)
?Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1
(64- and 32-bit)
?Windows 7 Starter, Service Pack 1 (32-
bit, not supported on computer models
equipped with a 500-GB hard drive and
3- or 4-GB or system memory)
?FreeDOS
?Linux (not supported on computer models
equipped with a graphics subsystem with
discrete memory)

You can't unless it has the operating system on a hidden partition in the hard drive. This is actually common.

Or you can get the Windows 7 PID (Product ID) off the laptop and find an ISO copy to Win 7, load it and put in the PID that was registered to that unit.

    that ISO must be for OEM w7 (rare).
    or the PID/COA is useless. why told next.
    that MS tag on the bottom is W7 OEM only.
    OEM COA key lic. never works on any "retail" ISO or DVD versions. in fact there are more ISO.
    OEM and retail Home on up to PRO) 6 license or more, even EDU;
    w10 that changed. (the ISO on 10 asks for it and does the right thing, but is off topic now)

    but w7 is NOT SOLD now, zero sold. MS ended all that so any ISO is Pirate ISO. or from Torrents.
    to get an ISO one most make one. from DVD OEM.

    also , if you moved the W7 HP_Recovery to a new HDD SSD, it now fails, because the Image is married to the 1st original HDD by serial of HDD. and also encrypted, to prevent use wrong. too.
    RIP W7,

My Hp 530 laptop Can play DVD discs but it will not burn

first check to be sure you have a dvd writer and not a cd writer-dvd rom combo .., cause in this case it is obvious why its not burning dvd-es..
Another thing take a look and see if you have a dvd burner into your operation system ..Usually windows 7 have a dvd burner and it burns them without any program to assist it .. but if it is defective or you can not operate it .. just download and install a dvd burner .. like Nero .. and try again ..
In the last case try to reinstall the operation system if you have a hunch that it may be something wrong with it .. and if is still not working change the optical unit and will work

How can i find or reset my user password of my Hp cq40 running in windows7 ultimate.? please help me i need the data

I presume this is a standalone PC and not on a network, if so you could purchase software to recover your Windows password from this website. http://www.recoverwindowspassword.com/

You use this software to create a boot disc, then restart the computer booting from this and it goes into a little applicaiton where you can reset/delete the windows passwords. I used it on my son's XP operating system successfully.

Just read through the website information fully so you understand what is involved before you do it commit and purchase it. You need to be able to boot the PC from the disc so must have a DVD/CD drive connected and be familar with changing BIOS settings so you can boot from the CD location rather than the HDD.

If that last sentance sounded like lefthanded budgie then take it to a computer tech and get them to do it for you, will cost a little more but you'll get the password reset.

Forgot password to hp laptop how do i reset it.

I don't know what OS your HP laptop is installed with.

If it is Windows 8, Windows Password Hint, PIN code, Microsoft account can be used to login HP laptop. After logon successfully, change, recover or reset Windows 8 password is available.

If it is Windows 7, Password hint or another administrator account may help you. But if you don't have all of these, try password reset disk. Create it before Windows 8 locked or with Windows 8 Password Recovery tool is OK.
Besides these, Chntpw USB disk also works for Windows 7/Vista etc.
