My computer is a HP G72 Notebook PC with dual core.




  • OS: Windows 7 Home Edition


I don't have the Admin id password and I am trying to do a factory reset.

When I restart the machine and hit ESC, I see the following options:




  • F1 System Information

  • F2 System Diagnostics

  • F9 Boot Device Options

  • F10 BIOS Setup

  • F11 System Recovery

  • F12 Network Boot

  • ENTER - Continue Startup


When I click on F11, it continues the booting and just comes back to Windows. It doesn't do anything else. I would like to do a system restore to a factory condition (not preferred) or preferably using a Windows image I backed up before.



Any ideas?

  • If the built-in recovery doesn't work you have one, possibly two, options. The possible option depends on whether HP offers a Recovery Partition repair tool. If this tool exists it will be on the HP Support Website under downloads. If this tool doesn't exist, then your only option is to perform a reinstall of Windows, either by retrieving the Recovery Image media from HP if you don't have it, or by using the Windows 7 OEM key on the computer and a valid Windows 7 OEM install disk.
