I am locked out of my HP Printer web browser. I have tried to follow the HP support with no luck. I have been trying to fix this for 2 years.
How do I remove, reset, change if I can not get past the user name and password?
ie I have held the cancel and wireless button for 3 sec, then reconnected to my wifi to find the password was not reset.

Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Since you've been locked out of the Embedded Web Server (EWS) of your HP DeskJet 2622 for two years, a full factory reset is the best option. Follow these steps carefully.
Restore Factory Defaults (Reset Network & Settings)
- Power On the Printer – Ensure the printer is turned on.
- Press and Hold Buttons:
- Press Cancel (X) + Wireless (📶) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
- The printer should blink and restart.
- Reconnect the Printer to Wi-Fi:
- Use HP Smart or WPS (if available) to reconnect.
This resets network settings but might not clear the EWS password.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
