Hi @MikeMuk 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

You can reset the admin password on your HP OfficeJet Pro 7720 by performing a factory reset, which will restore the printer to its default settings. Here’s how:

 

Factory Reset Steps

Turn on the Printer

• Ensure the printer is powered on and idle.

Access the Setup Menu

• On the printer’s touchscreen, go to Setup.
• If your printer doesn’t have a touchscreen, use the control panel buttons to navigate.

Restore Factory Defaults

• In the Setup menu, look for Tools, Device Maintenance, or Printer Maintenance.
• Select Restore Factory Defaults or Reset Defaults.

Confirm the Reset

• The printer will ask for confirmation—proceed with the reset.
• The process may take a few minutes, and the printer will restart.

Set Up the Printer Again

• After the reset, the printer will return to its default settings.
• You can now set a new admin password.
