Compaq cq60 recovery password - Compaq Presario Notebook

I assume you don't have a recovery CD.
So look on your hard drive maybe there is already a second partition for recovery.
Search in programs for recovery solution.
If you don't find anything, try to restart and wait for the HP or Compaq Logo and press F10 repeatedly, follow the instructions and computer will restart if finished with recovery.

If you have a recovery CD then boot up with this CD and follow the instructions.
If you do not have a recovery CD then you can download one from this WEB site.

If you could use another computer which could download from Internet, you can create a windows password recovery disk. Third party windows password recovery software windows login recovery could create such a disk. Only four steps:

Step 1: Download Windows Login Recovery and install it on the available computer
Step 2: Run the software and use it to burn a Windows password recovery disk (you could burn the file into the blank CD/DVD or USB flash drive)
Step 3: Change the BIOS setting of your locked computer to make it boot from the CD-ROM (Start computer and press F2 or Delete to enter BISO setup)
Step 4: Boot your locked computer from the created disk and remove the Windows password

It is easy and safe. Hope to help you.

Hello,

to reset your laptop, restart your computer and constantly press F11 once the first black screen on your laptop displays, or the Compaq logo display. Your computer will automatically load to recover manager and you can factory restore you computer from there.

2nd option: click start menu, click all programs and scroll to "Hp backup and recovery" or "Backup and recovery" click it and proceed for the factory default setting.

Good luck.

after rebooting my Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop the touch pad does not work and I have to use a plugged in a mouse

insert the disc into the drive, restart the computer.If it doesn't boot from disc, restart again.
As it restarts, press and hold F8(may be F2 or F12 depending on the settings)until the boot options screen appears. Using the arrow up/down keys select drive "d" or what ever drive letter represents the drive you put the disc into.
It will now(or should) continue to boot from the disc, follow the onscreen instructions to restore.
