I'm in a somewhat ridiculous situation trying to subscribe for Instant Ink and sadly HP makes it as difficult as possible for users to commit to paying them money every month. I need a printer password - which I don't remember ever setting - so I can enable my printer's web services, so I can print a 'claim code' so I can sign up for this.

 

After hurdles in every single step, I'm now stuck in the settings screen as HP asks me for a printer password. How do I either set up a new one or reset the printer completely without having the password?

Thanks
