Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I just purchased this printer today and am setting it up.  In attempting to set a new Admin password (I don't know the default), I've tried leaving the Current Password blank, then using "admin" and "Admin", and "12345678" without luck.  What do I do to get this task completed?

Open the cartridge door and there is a label on the right hand side with the access code on it.

Thank you.  I thought I had tried using the printer PIN to reset the Admin password  last night for the EWS interface, but I must have been mis-typing it.  After powering the printer back on this morning, I tried again just now using the printer PIN as the "Current Password" and was able to create a new Admin password.
