Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,

The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) is a printer homepage accessed through a web browser for managing settings and performing maintenance tasks.

If you are prompted for additional credentials when accessing the printer homepage, check for a PIN on the printer UPC sticker or contact the printer administrator for the password.

1. On the credential prompt, enter admin (default) for the username.

2. Locate the PIN on the printer UPC sticker found on either the back of the printer or inside the cartridge access area, and then enter it.

   

3. If a PIN is not listed on the sticker or the sticker is missing, contact the printer administrator for the PIN or password.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hi Echo_Lake,

there is no UPC-sticker with a PIN. Not at the back, not in cartridge access area and nowhere else. I'm the owner of the item, there is no administrator. When there are administrative access or rights to be provided somehow, it needs to be for me.

Could you share the screen where it's asking for the pin?
