Hi HP Community,

 

I have  the same issue. I bought a brand new MFP 179fnw but I can't login in the web interface.

I tried using 'admin' with the WPS Pin Number (in my case 55060868) but login don't work.

I received the message "Username and/or Password not correct - please try again"

Can you provide me the instruction to do a reset of the EWS password ?

Thanks !

@MichaT I suggest you check my private message for steps on performing a full reset, the instructions are designed for your specific printer and if anyone with a different model would try the steps, it may render the printer unstable, hence a private message would be the safest way of sharing this information:

Stand by for updates!

And have a good day.

 

Welcome to the HP Community!

(P.S: If anyone wants these instructions for their specific printers, please create a public post and tag me, I'll be happy to help).
