Hello,

 

I set up an EWS administrator password long time ago and now I can't access the EWS administrative panel since I forgot the password. Is there a way to fully reset the printer to factory settings? Or reset the EWS administrator password?

 

I have been searching the forums to no avail.

 

Thanks,

rst-pls

Should be a factory reset option on the control panel. Check for setup or service options.

Hey Repairatrooper,

Thanks for your prompt reply but I'm afraid there is no such thing on the 2620 Deskjet. It has no touch screen where I can choose setup or service options. Neither in the HP Smart application.

 

It would be good to mention that I'm working with a Windows 10 Virtual Machine connected through the USB and I have:
* Updated the firmware

* Tried resetting the settings from there

* Tried changing WiFi settings

To no avail, only successful thing was the firmware update.

 

Thanks again for your time!
