Hello, 
i wanted to update my HP printer Firmware. Manual said to login into Embedded Web Server using default id and password. After i logged in, it asked me to change password. I changed it, and now i cannot login because it says the password is wrong. I used password manager and i am pretty sure my password is not wrong.

Try this: turn on caps lock and type your password. Also note that passwords are limited to 16 characters, so if you chose a password longer than that, just type the first 16 characters.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.

my password manager generates 20 character long password by default. turned out admin panel silently only accepted 18 first.  i almost cried after 2 hours of searching for solutions on forums, trying to reset my printer to factory defaults.
