Need to reset admin password on M283fdw

[Peter_the_Great]

I seem to have set an admin password for the printer during setup, but with the numerous passwords and accounts that needed to be set, changed etc. for HP Smart, printer, community etc. I seem to have gotten lost and now I cannot administrate the printer anymore, nor can I reset to factory defaults because, TADAAH, this requires the printer admin password as well. Smart.

Now how do I reset to factory defaults without the admin password?

Thanks

Peter
