Resetting printer admin password

[jefl]

I changed my printer admin password but did not record it correctly or changed the username and forgot that. Now, in my HP Smart app, I have many options locked because I am required to login. How can I reset the printer so it does not require a password?

Hi...

I have an officejet 6968 and I don't recall the admin password. I've reset the wireless network connection as some suggested, but that doesn't change the ability to login to the printer admin page.    Is there a way to do this without completely setting the printer back to factory defaults? 

Thanks, 

Rick

I have same problem here, I changed my printer web portal password way back and saved it in my password manager software. for some reason it saved the hashes instead of the password text and now i can't get in. I reset to default settings but it does not help.

Thank you
