Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,
I understand your printer is locked with an administrator password, and you would like to reset the printer.
We can perform a factory defaults on the printer to resolve the issue
- The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
- I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
