I have an HP 8630 printer.
It was originally setup for my business.
The individual who set it up, LOCKED the controls and the printer requires a username and password to UNLOCK them.
The individual who set up the printer has died. I had to get a new router, and now the printer will not connect, even though I named the new router SSID the same as the old one, and kept the password the same. I need to be able to hard reset the printer to factory new.
