HP has two recovery methods but you just tried the inplace which it the same as their 1st one so a Factory Reset is required.
The File above will update the HP Recovery Manager if needed, you then need to Run Recovery Manager and Create the Factory Restore Media No#6 according to the Website. and then Run the Factory restore No#7
I'll try posting direct links below..... doesn't work sorrythey are not numbered just count down the blue links here on the top of the main page
