Hi,
I am locked out of my printer due to an administrator locking all of the settings. I've tried connecting to a network, mobile printing, and USB connection. Nothing seems to bypass the administration lockout.
I'm now trying to start from the beginning and just do a factory reset. Any chance anyone knows how to do a reset?
(And not in the "printer maintenance" settings page... That's locked out too).
Thanks!

The only option left is to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.
I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Forums profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link.
Hope this helps!
