hp envy 4500
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Please help. I'm really frustrated.

I've got my envy 4500 printer secondhand. I tried to login into the hp smart account to change some settings but I JUST CAN'T LOGIN. I've tried a semi full reset. All the standart passwords etc. Nothing works and I really need to scan some documents.

What can I do?

@angie_99 Did you create this account? or was it given to you by the person you bought it from, if you didn't create it, here's what you need to know:

Set up an HP Smart (formerly HP Connected) account to access additional web printing services and settings for your printer, such as HP ePrint and HP Instant Ink. An HP account is not required to use the basic functions of your printer, such as setting up, scanning, or printing.

NOTE: 

The HP Smart website availability depends on your country/region. To see if the website is available for your country/region, go to HP Smart, and then select the country/region and language menu.

If you registered with the HP Smart website during printer setup, your printer might already be added. Go to HP Smart, and then sign in to your account.

Hi

This account was setup by me. I've already tried the steps you suggested but I still have the problem. Whenever I try to scan, I have to change the settings for scanning and for that I need the login data. I've tried standart password etc but nothing works...
