Sad though this is to admit, when I installed my printer a couple of years ago I set a network password on it. Unfortunately, I seem to have no record of what it is, and having tried variations on the things I thought it was, I'm not having any joy. The question therefore, how can I reset the printer to factory defaults to reset the assigned password? I've checked the manuals but can't seem to find a way to do so, their only advice is to write it down in a safe place! lol
