If you want help, the best method is to clearly describe your problem. You have posted on this thread, so is your problem something to do with the close of the HP servers? Do the answers already posted here not help you? If not, why not?

Hi, I have to do a reset of the Touchpad and actually as the servers don´t work anymore, I cannot connect again. What can I do? I am from Argentina, I don´t understand much of technology things, But does this mean that it doesn´t have any solution? Isn´t it possible to have a solutions so as to bypass the activation and use the table again?

Thanks so much

HP ceased production of webOS devices in 2011. In the years since, they also open-sourced some of the code, ceased development of webOS and sold the assets to LG electronics. webOS is now commercially available as LG's smart TV operating system. Patents were sold to Qualcomm and the Palm name is now owned by TCL/Alcatel. Late last year, HP announced the the webOS profile servers would be closed. This means no app catalog, remote wipe or profile backup service.

webOS devices continue to function without these items. There are alternative app stores and manual back up is possible, though obviously less convenient. This means that if you want to continue using your device you need to maintain it yourself or find a friendly expert to do it for you.

I'm not clear if you intend to reset your Touchpad or if you have done it already. If you have not, did you back up your apps before the servers shutdown?

It is still possible to back up apps that are installed on your device, but it requires some effort. Here is a thread on backing up:

When you are satisfied that you have backed up your apps and data, this article will guide you to the solutions for bypassing activation on all devices:

This also applies if your Touchpad is already reset - there are still some apps available and work is being done to recover more. While some of this may seem a bit daunting at first glance, it is just a matter of reading and following the instructions carefully. Remember you can always ask questions on the relevant thread.
