Hi @BerniB68,

 

Good Day! Thanks for showing an interest in the HP community. I reviewed the post regarding not able to connect the printer to the network because of password issues.l.  I’ll be delighted to assist you with this. 🙂

 

You are a valued HP customer and we appreciate you greatly for doing business with HP. I have reviewed the situation and it is paramount that we address your issue. Superb and brilliant diagnosis of the issue were done before posting.

 

I would require more information in this regard to assist you better.

  • Did you perform a factory reset on the printer?
     
  • For a start please restore the printer to factory defaults by visiting this link It is the user guide. Please visit page# 152 to do it. This restores the printer to factory defaults.
  • Then try to connect the printer to the network via this link Please check if this fixes the issue.

If it does not I will send you a private message to perform an NVRAM on the printer later if this does not work. Please keep me posted about how this went. I will keep a watch for your reply.

 

Hope this helps.  Let me know how this goes. I genuinely hope the issue gets resolved without hassles and the unit works great. 🙂  Please reach out for any issues and I'll be there to assist you.  🙂

Dear David,

Unfortunately, I cannot enter the Service Menu, due to the password protection to restore the printer.

Bests,
