I am having trouble with the Printer's Password section while trying to install new drivers.

 

The default PIN printed on the sticker of the printer is not working.

Could you please advise me on how to reset it to the default password?

 

Thank you.

Hi @vensven 

 

Thanks for troubleshooting I appreciate all your efforts.

 

You may click OK and it's safe to proceed. However, if prompted, ensure you select the option to accept all certificates/connections, as the message suggests.

 

Keep me posted.

 

Thanks,

Hi @vensven 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

If the default PIN on your HP MFP 2606dn printer isn't working, you can try the following steps to reset it to the default password:

 

Reset to Factory Defaults:

  • Access the printer's control panel and navigate to the Setup or Service menu.
  • Look for an option like Restore Defaults or Factory Reset. Select it and confirm your choice.
  • This will reset the printer to its original factory settings, including the admin password.

 

Use Default Admin Credentials:

  • After the reset, the default admin username and password are typically:
    • Username: admin
    • Password: admin or leave it blank.
  • You can log in to the printer's web interface using its IP address in a browser and these credentials.

 

Check the Printer's IP Address:

  • Print a network configuration page from the printer to find its IP address.
  • Enter the IP address into a web browser to access the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS).

 

 

If this solution hits the spot, please come back and click "Accepted Solution" to help others find the answer. And if you'd like to say thanks, select "Yes" on the bottom left of the public post, as that would make our day! 

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!

Hello,

 

I see that when I click "OK" again, it prompts me for credentials, but they are not functioning.

 

Thanks
