Reset windows 7 home premium password

[warrenbk]

Newly purchased DV6-3240us with Windows 7 Home Premium with no media. Input an initial password at system setup, then to apply Windows updates from online powered off and at re-start my password is not recognised. I seem to recall this same thing happened with my DM1z laptop, but then I had media. So I had to use the recover disk to resolve,

How can I reset my password on the DV6 with no media?

Also noticed no bluetooth available in Control Panel. I had siilar issues with Bluetooth on the DM1z and a new driver was provided by HP.

Is there new bluetooth software available for the DV6?

Yours should have recovery on the hard drive, use F11 at the HP splash screen durning power up to access it, not sure if there is anything in recovery Manager that can help, be careful what you do in RM.
