Product: HP Pavilion dv7-4285dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit)
I have a
HP Pavilion dv7-4285dx
designed to run windows Vista. When I boot up the computer, it asks for an admin password and I have no clue what that could be. When I enter a few wrong passwords, I get the option for an unlock password along with the text (Key:58803937)
I have not been able to find the unlock password based on the key number. Any help is appreciated!
