I have a HP LaserJet Pro m148f-m149f and somehow the system password was set.  And I don't know it.  The printer is locked.  How can I reset this?

@Patty_Jean, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

This model printer does not have an option to perform an NVRAM reset to reset the printer to its factory settings.

Are you able to access the options on the printer screen?

On the printer, go to Setup > Network > Restore network settings.

 

If this does not work, please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service options for your printer. 

You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
