Good morning, I have an HP PC. Unfortunately, when I sent it for assistance, both the serial number and product ID were changed. I would like to restore it to factory settings with the HP Cloud Tool, but it tells me that the number does not match and I need to contact HP support. What can I do? Thank you in advance for your response.
