Hi @Ernesto51,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Restore Network Defaults:
- Touchscreen Models: Navigate to the printer's control panel, go to the "Wireless" or "Setup" menu, select "Network Setup," and then choose "Restore Network Settings" to reset the network settings.
- Button/LED Models: Press and hold the "Wireless" and "Cancel" buttons simultaneously until the power light blinks, then let go of the buttons.
Access Embedded Web Server (EWS):
- Ensure your printer is connected to the same network as your computer or device.
- Print a network configuration page from the printer's control panel to obtain the printer's IP address.
- Enter the IP address in a web browser to open the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Reset Administrator Password:
- Within the EWS, go to the "Security" tab and select "Administrator Settings."
- You may have the option to reset the password or set a new one. Follow the on-screen instructions to set a new password.
I hope this helps.
