How to Recover if Things Go Wrong
How to Recover if Things Go Wrong
System Boot Failure
If you have made some modifications in the Setup program and there is a system boot failure, you should do the
following:
1 Restart the computer, then press when
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Change the setting that you have modified to its original configuration, save it and exit the Setup program, then
continue with the system startup.
1 If the system still fails to start up, restart the computer, enter the Setup program, then press the key. This will load
the Setup default values to recover. However, by doing this, you will lose all customized settings in the Setup program.
These settings will have to be reconfigured.
If you are having problems with POST error messages, you probably need to clear the current configuration memory
values and reset the built-in default values. Refer to “Clearing the CMOS Configuration” below for details on how to do
this.
Incorrect Password on Startup
After three unsuccessful attempts to enter the correct password on Password on Boot , your computer becomes
disabled. If this happens, turn your computer off and then on again, then enter the correct password. If you have
forgotten your password, you need to clear the
CMOS configuration. Refer to “Clearing the CMOS Configuration” below
for details on how to do this.
Note
HP strongly recommends that you take note of any change to the system setup and store it in a safe place. If you
have any doubts about using the HP Setup program, contact you HP-authorized support agent or reseller for help.
