HP Deskjet 2700 Factory Reset? Can't get into EWS

[Radharc71]

Hi all,

I cannot get into the EWS admin side of my printer after resetting the Wifi connection on it. Regardless of what I enter, whether it's the password I set at the time, or the PIN code on the inside of the ink tray, it won't let me log into any of the pages "for great security", and there appears to be no way to reset it

Is there an easy way to do this?

UPDATE: Managed to power cycle the printer a few times, add it/remove it/add it/remove it, and somehow now it's accepting my password again. First thing I've done is to disable/clear the password in case it decides to change its mind again... still incredibly infuriating though...

@Radharc71, Welcome to HP Support Community!

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick 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.
