Feature locked by your administrator

[RosieAJ1]

I have recently changed my wireless set-up at home and so need to update the wireless settings on my printer.  I am currently showing as offline (as to be expected).  Everyhting I try leads to a 'The feature has been locked by your administrator or the person who set up the printer'.  As I am the only person who has ever set up the printer, etc I am stuck.  Any suggestions welcome.  Also, my apologies if this is an issue that has come up before, but I couldn't find an answer that worked for me.  Thanks

I need the fix for being locked out by your administrator.  I am the administrator and don't know how to proceed.  I tried resetting to factory settings from the printer but that was also locked (greyed out).
