    Check the front boot screen and see if they have a key to press to boot to the "Recovery Partition". On Compaq/HP this should be F11.

    If there is none, then you can order a set of discs from HP:

    Only by reinstalling the OS you can take it factory settings.As you said you dont have the cd i would suggest you to go to add/remove programs and uninstall all the installed software.
