There is no official way i think another way is if you got windows with compaq presario complementary then i think you can use windows product key that someone of your friend is using that can be work but thats looks not legal but also not going to bother you..

I think you should contact compaq but that will take time .There is way to get back registry key i have read about this to change a Windows XP installation's product key by editing the registry . The registry editing method is outlined in Knowledge Base articles and works on Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, and Windows XP Corporate Edition.Having problem in Windows XP Product key
