The code took me to a new screen do I start windows normally? Also thanks for reply
HP Recommended
Or is there any way to change that password so I know it? I just purchased the computer and have set nothing up.

It's showing a blue screen and restarted itself. Unsure what to do
HP Recommended

The passcode I gave you should have cleared the passowrd so none is required.

As for getting a blue screen and the laptop restarting- that may be several problems.

Did you buy the laptop without even seeing it boot up into Windows?

Bought it brand new out the box
HP Recommended

What is the OS installed on it? Windows 7, 8 or 10?

 

If you don't know-post the full Model Number or Product number. It should be on a label attached to bottom of laptop. May be under battery on the Dv7.

The DV7 1132nr is a pretty old laptop that shipped with Windows Vista. Not sure who sold it to you as new but it doesn't sound right- unless it has been sitting in a warehouse for 8-9 years.
