Product: HP OfficeJet Pro 7740
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a OfficeJet 7740 of which I dont have the corret EWS password. I've tried to reset it through the printer itself but that didn't work.

 

Is there any way to reset EWS password of the printer? For example through USB?

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you want to reset the EWS password, I am glad to assist you.

 

Resetting the printer's network settings to its factory default settings erases the embedded Web server (EWS) administrator password.

Follow these steps to reset the printer to the factory default settings:-

1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the Dashboard, and then touch ( Setup ). 

2. Touch Network Setup.

3. Touch Restore Network Settings. A message appears stating that the network defaults will be restored. 

4. Touch Yes

 

Login to the EWS page with the default credentials and change the password.

Username: admin

Password: "leave it blank"

 

Let me know how it goes.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.
