Please - I don't want to do a reset -  I just need to know what password the EWS is looking for.  HP login and password? my email login and password -  if it is the printer password, then what is my login name?

Hi,

HP printers do not come with any administrator password by default.

 

If you set a such, the user name would be admin (all lower case) along with your selected password, try any combination of admin with a password you may select, if you cannot find what password was set a printer reset is the only option to remove it.

Remember: Do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc.

 

It would help if you could include the image of the screen asking you for a password, to determine exactly what you need.

Please help me, help you.

Good luck.

Thanks Riddle-Decipher for your reply.  I think I solved the problem of the password by looking in a different file.    Chris
