I need to reset my admin password on my M252dw.  I do not know the current admin password. I have attempted an NVRAM initialization many, many times by pressing and holding on the lower right quadrant, the right quadrant, lower left quadrant, the lower right and left quadrants at the same time. I have wiggled my fingers while pressing.  I have not see the message "Permanent Storage Init" on any attempt. I have also check to see if I can access the services menu after each attempt and always am prompted for a password. Any help would be appreciated.
