I need serious help, I have a Compaq Presario 5000, I have looked everywhere for the "Factory Reset" button and connot find it anywhere. Can anybody help me and tell me where I might be able to find it.
It's a button? Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions like “Can anyone help me?”
I really did'nt heard of "factory reset" button. may some jumper u r referring to.
Maybe head over to http://www.compaq.com and download a manual !
Hmm. On my 2500 there is a SMALL hole in the bottom with the word reset near it. It is very small so look carefully. D4Dog

Danielle, what is it you're trying to accomplish? Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!
Factory Reset? LOL You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users
GXI Man..Yep, you can restore MOBO to factory state (on mine anyway) which is just button in a hole underneath the laptop D4Dog

I wrote to Danielle. She claimed to have found the "Factory Reset Button" and pushing it reset the computer to the state in which it was upon purchase. No details were provided as to where exactly this button was located... It's a mystery... Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!
Sounds like the Easy Button Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions like “Can anyone help me?”
Heh - yes, save our babies ; ) I dunno - you read some pretty strange things around here from time to time. I'd read that one, and thought the baby monitor suggestion held merit. I used to pick up taxi broadcasts from my old stereo speakers (with the stereo turned off)

Anything is possible now, too bad that
easy button can't fix all problems.
Pull off the side panel, the reset button is on the mainboard in the lower right hand corner, yellow button marked CMOS. Push and hold for count of ten.
start the computer, then you will have to set the date and time in the BIOS.
