Hi, I have the same problem. I've moved house and would like to configure my HP Laserjet M252dw again, but I have no idea what password I set about a hundred years ago. 🙂

@kjrunia, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I understand you would like to perform a factory reset on the printer to access the EWS page. 

• The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
• I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
• In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
