Hi so I was given an hp. But it still had the old users info for password. So I decided to factory reset to see if it would help delete anything from old user. During this time of resetting it had died. Now it says didnt restart properly. And ask to hit ok. It keeps looping this over and over the same thing and saying preparing. Can I fix this?
