Alright so long story short, I bought this HP Envy x360 2 in 1 laptop off of offerup, the exchange was while I was at work and had to be a quick, " I'll take the laptop, is there anything I need to know about it? No? Great! thanks, Here's your money". They neglected to tell me that it was bitlocked.... So I followed instructions found on google to "bypass bitlocker recovery blah blah blah" and it wound up leading me to a screen asking for an Admin pw.. Welp as previously stated, I bought it as is but spent $375 on it and know that theres just got to be some effing way for me to salvage this machine so that I didin't just take a $375 loss (especially because my wife will nuter me if that be the case) .... so I am reaching out for help, this laptop is also suppose to enable me to start my new job which is a WFH position but can't be done without a *laptop *working cell *Headphones with mic *Can-do, ready to Sale Attitutde.... welp I've got 3 of 4 of those things....
Error code given is:
YOUR PC/DEVICE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED
A REQUIRED DEVICE ISN'T CONNECTED OR CAN'T BE ACCESSED
ERROR CODE: 0XC000000F
YOU'LL NEED TO USE RECOVERY TOOLS. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY INSTALLATION MEDIA (LIKE A DISC OR USB DEVICE) CONTACT YOUR PC ADMINISTRATOR OR MANUFACTURER
PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE ***DOSEN'T WORK****
PRESS F1 TO ENTER RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT **SCREEN JUST FLASHES BUT REMAINS ON SAME SCREEN***
PRESS F8 FOR START UP SETTINGS **ASKS FOR ADMIN PW WHICH I DON'T HAVE**
PRESS ESC FOR UEFI FIRMWARE SETTINGS **PLEASE READ ABOVE STATED OUTCOME FOR F8**
And I've tried bootable usb drives even tried hooking it up to another laptop and it was showing up as unreconized idk what else to do.... Anybody help??
