Hi @Pius2468,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

Check Default Password: The default username and password for HP printers are often both "admin" or the password could be blank (leave it empty). Try using these to log in.

Reset Admin Password:

• If you know the current password, you might access the printer's control panel or web interface to reset it.
• If you don’t, consult the printer manual or HP's website to find the instructions for performing a factory reset or a password reset.

Factory Reset:

• A factory reset might be necessary, which will reset all settings back to factory defaults, including any network or security settings. This is usually accessible through the printer’s menu under "Settings" > "Service" > "Restore Defaults."
• Please note that this will erase any existing configurations, so you'll need to set up the printer again.

I hope this helps.
