Product: HP LaserJet Pro MFP M148fdw

I have forgotten the admin password for my LaserJet Pro M148fdw printer, and based on the responses I see on the forum to others with this issue, it seems there is a confidential solution to reset it. Could someone provide this procedure to me?

 

Thanks!

I found the procedure by doing a google search for "HP LaserJet Pro M148fdw clear nvram procedure". It pointed me to another post on these forums that perhaps unintentionally described what to do: hold down right arrow and the red X button while powering the printer on. Doing that worked for me, it removed the password (along with everything else of course).
