Product: HP 8730
Operating System: Other

I did a full factory reset on my HP 8730 printer, and now I cannot sign in any more to it's Embedded Web Server. I have already tried many combinations (admin/admin, admin/blank, blank/blank, admin/wpsPIN, etc.) but I suppose that for this printer it may be some other combination. Can someone please let me know how to solve this?

In the meantime I tried the old EWS password, which (surprisingly) worked; it seems that the factory reset did not reset the EWS password.
