Color Laserjet Pro MFP M277dw
Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Hey.

I've just bought a Laserjet Pro M277dw printer to use at home. Most functions are now up and running. But when I tried to config "scan to email" I was prompted a password. Same thing happens when I try to access Settings. The only password I've set was when I was turning off/disable fax settings. Now that password aint working....(password was only 8 digits long)

 

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

 

Regards

Jonas

I'm having the same issue. Grr!!! Just wanted my AirPrint to work!

If the reset I provided went through properly then the printer is having an issue and would need to be replaced. You can contact HP support by clicking on this link and filling out the form at the bottom.

 

I hope you get everything sorted out and I hope you have a great day!

I'm pulling an HP LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw off the shelf to install it in one of our offices, but no one has the password documented anywhere. May I join the crowd that is looking for a resolution?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

I am also having the same issue. I can not adjust any settings in the web based settings page without providing password which I do not remember anymore. Please help me!
