Last week I bought a HP Pavilion notebook installed windows 7. I set it up with a password and cannot for the life of me sign on now. I am entering the password I think it is but no luck. When I click reset password it tells me to insert USB I bought one and it says I should have a password reset recovery on the USB. I don’t know what it is. Can you help me reset the password?
