HP Ink Tank Wireless 415

Hy,

I want to reconfigure my printer and I forgot the EWS password ( I changed it when I first set up the printer) .

I tried to reset network setting  pressing Wifi Icon & Cancel button for 3 - 5 seconds but didn't work.

How do I reset printer to factory defaults ?

Thanks.hp ink tank 415 statushp ink tank 415 status

Today, I tried to use Hp Easy Start Printer Setup to change the printer from usb to Wireless.. no luck .. it prompted me for EWS password..

I need to reset this printer to factory defaults.

Printers are not my forte but I did find a video that explains the reset.  It is not in English but it might help anyways.
