Forgot password to my HP LaserJet printer

[swimmer1999]

I have a laser jet pro 200 color M251nw printer and I had set up a password and cannot remember it.

I don’t know how to reset it and therefore can’t get into my printer to check quality and change network and so forth.

your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,

I understand you would like to perform a factory reset on the printer to access the EWS page. 

• The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
• I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
• In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
