Hi there,
I gather folks have had this issue in the past. Can someone please tell me how to reset the Admin password on the EWS
server? I just tried shutting down my printer and unplugging as was recommended but hasn't resolved it.
FYI I was having issues after the initial install of my HP Deskjet 3755 All in one printer (and HP Smart) so I had to uninstall and then re-install both. I now have the printer working but the HP Smart APP has locked me out so I can't manage from there. It's asking me for a claim code which I no longer have from my original install and I can't seem to get the print info report, which apparently has this, to print from Web Services as I'm locked out on EWS as well (asking me for an admin password I don't have) and it won't print by pressing info button + Wireless button on my printer. It does nothing. Needless to say, very frustrating. Appreciate if anyone has any ideas, please let me know how to resolve these issues.
Thank you

We'll have to perform a reset on the Printer for this. I have sent you a private message, for more details that cannot be shared in a public post.
Please do check your inbox on the communities page for the private message.
Let me know if this helps.
