Are you asking about the printer security PIN?
If yes, you cannot bypass the need for the PIN / password.

Things to note when accessing the EWS.
● If the web browser displays a message indicating that the website is unsafe, select the option to continue.
Accessing the website does not harm your device.
● Depending on how the printer is connected, some features in the EWS might not be available.
● For your security, some settings in the EWS are password-protected.
If prompted for a password, enter the default printer PIN available on the label inside the printer access door.
If you have changed the password, enter your new password.
● The EWS is not accessible beyond the network firewall.
Use the EWS to view or change IP configuration settings, and manually set an IPv4 address, subnet mask and
default gateway.
