Resetting the admin password on a printer the HP LaserJet MFP M234sdwe, you can try the following steps to perform a factory reset.

Power off the Printer: Make sure the printer is powered off.

Press and Hold Certain Buttons: While holding down the Resume button, press the Power button to turn on the printer. Continue to hold the Resume button until the Attention light turns on.

Release Buttons: Release the Resume button. The Attention light should remain on.

Restore Defaults: Press and release the Resume button again to initiate the default settings restoration process.

Wait for Reset: The printer will go through the reset process. This may take a few minutes. Once the process is complete, the printer should return to its factory default settings.

Power Cycle: Power off the printer and then power it back on. Allow it to start up, and you should be able to access the printer with the default admin credentials.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.-
