HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hey.

I've just bought a HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn printer to use at home. I cannot remember the password and need to change some of the network settings.

 

How can I reset or change the admin password on my printer?

 

Regards

Hasan Jaffery
