I intially created a password in the EWS...my mistake. I had no idea I needed an username. I reset to factory setting on printer - still locked in EWS and still don't know my username.

I have tried ADMIN and admin and leaving password blank and adding password ''BLANK". I have also used the password that was assigned to the printer. At this point, I can not "unlock" the EWS.  Please help.

 

Thanks.
