HP Recommended

Hi!

I’ve bought a secondhand HP Elitebook 8470p for the sole purpose of running a diagnostic program for my engines so I can check enginehours, codes and so on.

Got it home, it was cleared/rebooted by the old owner and I could make my own admin log-in.

Now, a year later when I’m finally all set up for using the program I can’t remember my admin-password to log in!

Is there a way to reboot the entire laptop? There is no data saved or anything on the laptop that is of any value, I just need it to my diagnostic program.


Grateful for any advice!
