There is a firmware update due for my printer, but when I log into HP Smart and go to advanced settings it says the firmware update is locked by the admin. This exactly what the screen reads:
Windows Security
HP Smart
The server [omitted} is asking for your user name and password.
That server also reports: "admin".
I checked for the PIN on the back and bottom of the printer and there's nothing there that works. Please tell me how to reset the username and password so I can install the update.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd love to help.
We'll have to perform a reset on the Printer for this. I have sent you a private message, for more details that cannot be shared in a public post.
Please do check your inbox on the communities page for the private message.
Let me know if this helps.
If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution button, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
Thanks!
