Hi rbogdan,

 

Thank you for visiting HP Support forum,

 

Here are steps,  this should help you in resetting the admin password you had set.

  1. On Printer control display, touch "Setup" Menu.
  2. Then look for "Services" and then press OK
  3. Then look for “Restore Defaults” touch to restore to factory default.

 

Hope this helps you !

Hi and thanks for the reply, but when I get to Service it asks for the password that I can't remember.
