Reset Printer Admin Password for a DeskJet Plus 6000

[Newbie-7103]

Hello. How can I reset my HP DeskJet Plus Ink Advantage 6000 printer when I do not have access to the advanced settings from the HP Smart app because I lost the administrator password, and there is no digital screen? I need your help, please.

My printer is an HP DeskJet Plus Ink Advantage 6075. I wrote 6000 in the first message because it was more general. But I later learned that each printer model has its own factory reset. I have a PC running Windows 11, and I need urgent help.

Hi @Newbie-7103,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To reset the admin password or restore your HP DeskJet Plus Ink Advantage 6075 printer to its default settings, you can perform a factory reset, which will remove any configured passwords and restore the printer to its original state. Since this model lacks a display, the reset must be done through a specific button combination.

Here are the steps to reset your printer.
 

1. Turn off the printer by pressing the power button.
2. Press and hold the Cancel (✘) and Wireless (Wi-Fi) buttons simultaneously.
3. While holding these two buttons, press and hold the Power button.
4. Continue holding all three buttons (Cancel, Wireless, and Power) for about 10 seconds, then release them.
5. The printer will automatically reset, and the Wi-Fi settings will return to factory defaults, removing any set administrator password.

After the reset, you will need to reconfigure the printer, including connecting it to your Wi-Fi network, and setting up any necessary preferences again.

Once done, you should be able to access the HP Smart app and configure the printer without needing the admin password.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
