Hi,

I have forgotten the admin password to access the admin web page and the configuration menu on the printer control panel.  How do I reset to factory?  To be clear, this is the admin password NOT the wireless password.

 

Thank you

Hi @Rainbow23, 

 

I've go thru the guide until page 91 for the factory reset, but it is asking for admin password. Is there any steps for hard reset instead?
