Not sure what you're asking. First what Operating system are you using and is Ubuntu installed to your hard drive or on a virtual drive?
These are the normal procedures for HP Pavilion DV5

  1. Restart the Computer
  2. Press the F11 key to launch the HP Recovery Manager.
  3. When the "Welcome to HP Recovery Manager" window appears, click Next .
  4. When asked to perform a "Microsoft System Restore" , select No, then click Next .
  5. When asked to perform a System Recovery , select Yes, then click Next .
  6. When asked to Backup Files , select the option you want.
When asked to perform a "Recover your computer to original factory condition" , select Next wait for the recovery process to finish.

Hope this helps.

Hp pavilion dv5 blocked

You can reset your HP windows password directly.

The experience that I forgot windows password happenedto me a few weeks ago. My friend Acheson who is an IT engineer recommended meto take use of Windows Password Reset,which is very smart windows password reset tool and just take me a short time to reset a newly password.

How do i reset my hp dv5 to factory default?

Probably a F10 or F11 from boot, possibly another F key, try to read the screen if you miss something reboot it and try again. Otherwise sometimes manufacturers store a Windows System Image and need to be reset via Windows Repair, probably reached by Advanced Options for Recovery.

I have a HP PAvilion dv5-1125nr and I recently encountered a problem where on startup it shows a white screen. I tried looking at it from all angles to see if there was a faint image but there was nothing....

no photos of white screen presented or posted.
is it white in a dark room???????????
DV5-1125nr (9 years old (first made date) RTC COIN cell time? sure. page 59 tells you how.

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01550108


lacking any photos , it be impossible to fix this talking in text box.
no?
as they say ,seeing is believing, what you call white I call black.
white on sunny beach, or black in dark room, can be the same.
PAvilion dv5-1125nr

always post what a pC does in the dark, its best.
all text seen , all logos seen (hp or compaq)
any boot screens, any log in screens.
and if the "hit F10 key to enter HP setup" is missing on said screen as seen now for 9 years running.
if that text is missing,
remove the big battery in rear of LP,they short, so get it out now
and first., do that first. always,,,
then run on AC power,
do the HP long reset? (battery out, ac pack pulled
push power button 10 to 30second, not use the ac pack only
it can run on AC forever, end ever , no problems.
do so now.
got that that 9 year old text now? in the dark, ok?
The F10 is BIOS hot key, power on and quickly hammer F10
bingo for BIOS. see that? see those screens, those are first.
if BIOS is dead, it can not boot any OS made.
BIOS does the booting job, see?
here is your support page. at HP, Fixya is NOT HP. so....
