Hi @Juan1965,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

To perform a factory reset on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e, you typically need to unlock the control panel first. Since it's locked, here’s a workaround.

 

Power On: Make sure the printer is powered on.

Unlock the Control Panel:

  • Press and hold the Home button (the house icon) for about 3 seconds until you see a prompt to unlock the control panel.
  • If you don't see this option, try holding the Cancel button or the Resume button simultaneously for about 10 seconds to see if that unlocks it.

Perform the Factory Reset:

  • Once unlocked, go to the Setup menu (the gear icon).
  • Navigate to Printer Maintenance.
  • Select Restore Factory Defaults and confirm the action.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
