I have seen several posts very similar to my situation wherein an employee is no longer here setup a password on my HP M148fdw which no one else knows. Can you please provide me with a solution to reset the printer to factory settings and remove the password?

@TGatOTR Welcome to HP Community!

I suggest you check my private message for steps on performing a full reset, the instructions are designed for your specific printer and if anyone with a different model would try the steps, it may render the printer unstable, hence a private message would be the safest way of sharing this information:

Stand by for updates!

And have a good day.

 

(P.S: If anyone wants these instructions for their specific printers, please create a public post and tag me, I'll be happy to help).
