How do I reset the admin password on an Color LJ E65150 if I don't know the current one?

The former admin for the printer has gone to another company.

What I thought was the admin password isn't working.

There is no "default" on this device, it is either blank or whatever someone set it to.

Thank you.  I was hoping there was a way to reset the admin password to the default.

If this is the only way, I will give it a try.
