Hi CP2025-_

To reset the password on your HP LaserJet Pro 3301 printer, follow these steps:

1. Access Printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS)

• Ensure your printer is connected to the network.
• On your computer, open a web browser.
• Type the printer’s IP address into the browser’s address bar and press Enter.

2. Log In to the Embedded Web Server

• On the EWS page, you may be prompted to log in. If you already have the admin credentials, enter them.

3. Navigate to Security Settings

• Once logged in, go to the Security tab.

4. Change or Reset Password

• Look for Password Settings or Administrator Settings.
• You should have options to change or reset the password.

5. Follow On-screen Instructions

• Enter the new password and confirm it.
• Save the settings.

6. Restart Printer

• Restarting the printer might be necessary to apply the new settings.

If you have forgotten the existing password and need to reset it to the factory default settings:

Factory Reset

1. Turn Off the Printer

   • Ensure the printer is completely powered off.

2. Turn On the Printer

   • Power on the printer and wait for it to initialize.

3. Access Service Menu

   • Depending on your model, you may need to press a sequence of buttons to access the service menu. Typically it's:
     • On the printer’s control panel, press the Home button.
     • Navigate to Setup.

4. Perform Factory Reset

   • Navigate to Service > Restore Defaults or Factory Reset.
   • Confirm the action.

After performing the factory reset, your printer’s settings (including the password) will be restored to default. You can then set a new password by following the steps in the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

I hope the above is helpful
