Reset admin password for HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M181fw

[MD202020]

An Admin password was set on my HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M181FW printer but it's unknown on the set password. Reset of this set admin password is needed for making changes to the various available settings (i.e. paper type, web services, system setup, etc....)

Please provide the specific instructions for resetting a unknown admin password.  Thank you.
