OfficeJet Pro 9012 Admin Password reset

[Hathor27]

I setup an OfficeJet Pro 9012 printer some month ago. After a firmware update the printer is locked with an admin password. How can I perform a reset of the admin password? Please help

Dear Rainbow23,

thank you for your private message - in between I made a phonecall directly to HP and ask for support: They told me the same trick 🙂

But: Why don't you publish this in a public place? It's awfull if I can not manage my own device any more - and if someone needs to hack it, there's always a way like that...

Thanks anyway
