Compaq Presario CQ62 - Windows 8 Pro and Acrobat Reader X1.
old PC,, Cq series. cq62-nnnnn you left off the nnnnnn
cq62-100, 200 ,300 what?
running mS windows 8
HP does not support W8 on this PC so that means you are on your own steam... (you , it and microsoft 100%)
forget ACER this is not and ACER PC< at all, (totally different)
you could reload w8 , like you did before, now all that works
its login password issue,
can i presume the screens look ok W8login screens?
local login fails, not bios, and not windows live logins fails
that is right there are 3 tiers of logins.
admin , create a new account and use that
or do that and ask at MS how to copy date from dead account to new account, you never said once you had data.
if no data on pc, then reload 8, easy no?
the newer the OS the more hard it is to get data from that dead account( new permission rules, and hard to do) ask
best i can tell, lacking your full model number
teh CQ62-400 (newest) had only Windows 7
so how did w8 get there,
from whome, and what media.
and what install methods.
from MS CD? or MS ISO, or from ebay hackers disks/
what?
here are the ways, (not data recovery)
