Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you want to reset the EWS password, I am glad to assist you.

 

Resetting the printer's network settings to its factory default settings erases the embedded Web server (EWS) administrator password.

Follow these steps to reset the printer to the factory default settings:-

Press the Wireless button and the Cancel button from the printer control panel at the same time, and then hold them for three seconds.

 

Login to the EWS page with the default credentials and change the password.

Username: admin

Password: "leave it blank"

 

Let me know how it goes.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.

Thank you for your reply Sandytechy20

 

I tried Pressing Wireless Button + Cancel button on my HP Deskjet GT 5820. The blue LED next to Wireless Button started Blinking and Wireless signal indicator (in the digital display) started to Blink with increasing signal strength. I hope this has reset my printer network settings.

 

But after this as well, I tried connecting to my Printer (Both by USB and HP Setup Wifi connection) and entered the EWS page. In the EWS page when it prompts for username and password and I had entered admin as username and left the password field blank. But it didn't take it and prompted it again.

 

Now with USB connection, I opened HP Smart and went to Printer's advanced settings. It went to the Printers EWS page and when I try to login it giving me the below screen. Not able to proceed further from here. Please HELP!!!!!
