MFP179fnw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

What is the default username and password for a factory sealed new HP MFP179fnw series?

 

And yes, I've tried:

 

admin/admin

Admin/Admin

Administrator/admin

admin - blank

etc...

 

Not detailed well enough in the literature.

There should be no default out of the box, unless HP recently changed their procedures. On most machines you need to go to security settings and set a password and you can do this without logging in when the unit comes out of the box.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by marking my post as an accepted solution. Clicking "yes" on "was this reply helpful" also increases the chances that this solution will help others.
I am a volunteer, offering my knowledge to support fellow users, I do not work for HP nor speak for HP.
