Hi @Csb1401,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

To reset the password on your HP DeskJet 2855e All-in-One Printer, you generally need to perform a factory reset. This will reset all settings, including the password, to their default values. Here’s how you can do it.

 

Turn on the Printer:

  • Make sure the printer is turned on and is in a ready state.

Access the Control Panel:

  • On the printer’s control panel, press and hold the Wireless button and the Cancel button (typically the red “X” button) for about 5 seconds.

Initiate the Factory Reset:

  • After releasing the buttons, the printer should start the reset process. This process might take a few minutes.

Reconnect to Your Network:

  • Once the factory reset is complete, you’ll need to reconnect the printer to your Wi-Fi network. Follow the setup instructions use the HP Smart app to configure your printer settings again.

Reconfigure Printer Settings:

  • You might need to reconfigure any custom settings or preferences you had previously set up.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
