My daughter bought an Envy4500 all-in-one printer scanner. To modify settings I need the admin password (and the one she set it up with doesn't work). Is there a key combination to reset the printer password?

 

I found the reset buttons 'wireless button' + 'minus button' & 'power on' till blinking reset most but not the admin password part.

 

Cheers and thanks

I am also needing to reset my admin password to access the software to connect my 4500 Envy. 

 

If you can help me with my problem I can print Cartridge Cleaning pages, but it will not print any files that arent within the Software. This situation is with a wireless setup, however, it wont recognize USB when I tried to fix it that way.
