15-p067
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

hp pavillion laptop 15-p067ca model, purchased year ago, came with windows 8.1, was not updated to windows 10.

 

seems to have a bug: on start up it welcomes me as a user "vladimir" asks for password and then hangs up forever with the white screen and unresponsive.

 

Password  I'm sure is right, because if I type different password, machine comes back with "Incorrect password" message.

 

What do you think is a problem and how to go back to factory settings?

 

I have not made a recovery disc.

 

Any comp supposedly have a recovery partition, and Recovery Manager but how can I do anything if Window does not come up?

Yes, thank you so much.

 

It worked, but it took me the whole day to bring it back to work.

 

Fitst it restored to factory settings, about 3 hrs., which was Windows 8.1, then it automatically went on to update to Windows 10, which went on into late night.

 

But everything seems to be working well now.

 

Thank you so much.
