This is a repeat of a problem that has occurred before.
My HP Deskjet HP2720E somehow lost the wifi connection on my network.
After exhausting all possible solutions I attempted to make use of EWS and, as happened last time, I received this message:- 

"A custom password has been set for your printer. Enter the password to access the printer web interface."

I tried the password I had set last time this happened, but it did not work!

So I tried the Pin number for the printer, once again no joy.

Only recourse, as before, was a factory reset. But none of the posted methods work!

On the previous post there was an article which detailed a method that did work, but that reference has disappeared.

I'd be grateful for any method that works.
