Hi @Hero974,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

Resetting the EWS (Embedded Web Server) admin password on your HP Tango X printer may require a specific process. If the usual method of pressing the Wi-Fi button for 3 seconds is not working, you may need to try a more extensive reset. Here are the steps you can follow.

1. Power Cycle the Printer:

   • Turn off the printer.
   • Disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer.
   • Wait for about 30 seconds.
   • Reconnect the power cable.
   • Turn on the printer.

2. Factory Reset:

   • Press and hold the Power button on the printer for about 5 seconds until the front light begins to flash.
   • Release the button to initiate a factory reset.
   • The printer will go through the reset process, and this may take a few minutes.

3. EWS Password Reset:

   • After the factory reset, the printer will return to its default settings, including the default EWS admin password.
   • Access the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address in a web browser. The default IP address for HP printers is often http://192.168.223.1.
   • Log in using the default EWS admin credentials. The default username is usually "admin," and the default password is also "admin" or may be blank.

4. Change Password:

   • Once logged into the EWS, navigate to the security or password settings.
   • Change the EWS admin password to a new one that you can remember.

5. Reconnect to Wi-Fi:

   • After changing the password, reconnect the printer to your Wi-Fi network using the updated credentials.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
