HI @Arka_Gdynia,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If you've forgotten the password for the Embedded Web Server (EWS) on your HP printer, you can reset it by restoring the printer to its factory settings. Here's a general process that should work for most HP printers, though the exact steps can vary slightly depending on your model:

Identify the Printer Model: The exact steps to reset can vary based on the model of your HP printer. Check your printer’s model number (usually found on the printer).

Restore Factory Settings:

• Through the Printer Control Panel: Most HP printers with a display panel have an option to restore factory settings directly from the menu. Navigate through the menu to find an option similar to Restore Factory Defaults or Reset.
• Using Buttons (if your printer does not have a display): For printers without a display, you might be able to reset the printer by pressing and holding specific buttons while turning on the printer. This often involves holding down the Cancel and Wireless buttons, or Resume and Wireless buttons simultaneously as you power on the printer.

Consult the User Manual: For the most accurate instructions, refer to the printer’s user manual. You can usually find this manual online by searching for your specific printer model followed by “user manual” or “factory reset.”

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
