Remove the CMOS battery AND the main battery, press the power button once, then let it sit for about ten to twenty minutes. Then put everything back.

You need a set of recovery disc and do a system repair or install a new OS. The recovery CD.'s can be ordered from http://www.hp.com by model and serial umber from HP.

Hi. Close to he CMOS battery is a small jumper. Once the batteries are removed move the jumper with needle nose pliers or a similar tool to the next position. This will discharge any capacitors that still hold voltage. Wait a few seconds then move it back. Replace the batteries and you will be at factory default settings.
