I am having issues with my HP printer "Deskjet Ink Advantage 2676". I am unable to reset the administrator/EWS password. I tried resetting the printer by pressing Cancel + Wireless buttons. After entering set up mode, when I access the "Settings" page, it still prompts for username/password. If I leave it empty, it shows an error that the credentials are invalid and does not allow me to reset password.

Hi @Kannan56,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
The solution for your problem.
Power off the printer. Then while holding down the [X] and [ ^] buttons on the control panel power on the printer.
Release the buttons when the display is showing [ NV ]. The printer will restart.
You have now reverted to factory default.
If this still does not help, I recommend you contact phone support.
Keep me posted for further assistance.
