I understand now. You are in the Embedded Web Server and can not access the Admin settings. In order to reset the password back to defaults, we will need to restore the Network defaults on the printer, then reconfigure the printer for your wireless network again. You can use the steps below to restore the network defaults on the printer;

 

 

  1.  Touch the little wrench (settings) icon you see in the top right hand corner of the printer touch screen.
  2.  Touch the Wireless Menu.
  3.  Navigate to Restore Network Defaults.

 

Once restored, go to the Wireless Setup Wizard in the Wireless Menu and reconfigure the settings.
