@ZEBR0132, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Resetting Admin Password for HP InkTank 419 Printer! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

If you have forgotten the admin password for your printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS), you may need to reset the printer to restore default settings. Here are the general steps to perform a factory reset, which may help regain access:

Turn on the Printer: Make sure your printer is powered on.

Access Control Panel Menu: Depending on the printer model, you may need to navigate through the display touchscreen or control panel buttons.

Reset Option: Look for options such as 'Restore Defaults' or 'Reset Settings' within the printer’s menu. This may vary depending on specific models and the exact menu wording.

Confirmation: Confirm the reset when prompted. This will restore factory settings and may reset the admin password.  

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!

My printer does not have touchscreen

@ZEBR0132, Since your HP Ink Tank Wireless 419 doesn’t have a touchscreen, don’t worry — we’ve still got a way forward.

Here’s a simple method you can try to restore your printer to factory defaults and clear the EWS admin password:

Step-by-step Reset (for non-touch printers):

Power ON the printer and make sure it’s idle (not printing or processing).

Press and hold the “Resume” button (the one with the triangle inside a circle) for about 10–15 seconds until the Attention and Power lights blink together.

Release the button. The printer should restart — this usually means settings are reset.

🛠️ Note: This should reset the network settings and may clear the EWS admin password too. After that, you can reconfigure it like new via HP Smart or EWS.

Let us know if it works — and we're just a message away if you need more help!

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
