HP M203dw web server admin password reset

[billhicks]

I have an HP M203dw  that was secured by setting up a password using the embedded web server. We are unable to retrieve the password. Are there instructions on how to reset this admin password?

NVRAM Initialization

• With the device off, depress and hold the [Go] button.
• Power on the device and hold [GO] button for 20 seconds. When the ready led turns on, release the [GO] button.

There is no "Go" button. It has:

1. Wireless button and light (M203dw models only)
2. Attention light
3. Ready light
4. Supplies light
5. Resume button
6. Cancel button

I would assume that Go = Resume in the context of your printer model.

Try the steps but use the Resume button instead.  Let us know how it goes.

That got it. To clarify for anyone else.

1. Unplug

2. Hold down the "Resume" button

3. Plug in and wait for the green light to stay on indicating that the printer is ready.

4. Release the button.

!!FYI!! - This removes any IPV4 manual config too so the address might change.
