Hi all. I have a problem. I was in the middle of a factory reset on my laptop, it said 1% completed, when my youngest sister shut the lid. I’ve ioened it up to turn on and it’s asking for account username and password. I typed in my original credentials and it’s not working. The screen all looks to have reset. I don’t know how to fix it

I see from your post you are in need of support. I'll be glad to help you.
To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:
What is the product number of the PC? Use this link to find it: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03754824 (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).

Hi. The product number of the PC is P3D01PA#ABG
No i hadn't made any changes. I was reseting it to give to another family member. It had 1% on the restart bar when the lid was closed. It comes up with a facotry rest background, but asks for a username and password. It will not allow me to connect with the internet/wifi either.
I can't run the F2 option as I am unable to get into the laptop to do so.
I tried the electronic assitant as it was pass operating hours and it didn't come up with a solution/help.
Thank you for replying
