Hello, I've been unable to log into one of our remote printers for a few weeks nowand have been looking to reset the password on it, but through all of my searches, I can't find any solid info. Some of the guides I've seen have instructions that don't match our menu, and others have HP support reps sending instructions for a "semi-reset" in a private message.

 

Can anyone send me instructions to reset the EWS admin password, please?

Hi,

Please swipe your finger from the top to the bottom of the screen and then tap the setup icon.

Click on Printer Maintenance.

Select Restore.

Select Restore Factory Defaults and confirm.

 

Once the printer restarts the password should be removed, if it is connected wirelessly by sure to follow the Wireless Setup Wiazard to reconnect your printer wirelessly as following:

 

Swipe your finger from the top to the bottom of the screen and then tap the wifi icon.

Click the Gear icon.

Click on Wireless Setup Wizard.

Follow the steps on screen to connect to your home wifi.
