hp laserjet pro mfp m148fdw hard reset without password

[AKCliff]

hp laserjet pro mfp m148fdw hard reset without password.  I've not been able to find this info anywhere.  I don't have the admin password and need to setup as a stand alone printer but it has some weird setting that I'd like to wipe out and go with factory default settings

Please and Thanks

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

I'd be happy to assist you with the admin password issue.

Let's perform a factory reset:

On the printer control panel, press the button.

Open the following menus: ● Service ● Restore Defaults 3. Touch or press the OK button. The printer automatically restarts.

Let me know if this helps.

If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution and Kudos buttons, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Good evening, my problem is that I cannot install the printer. The pc does not recognize it. He tells me I have to install it. Thanks for help

I used both CD and online drivers from HP site for installation

From very first day I am having troubles using this printer on my iMacs. It only accepts "direct IP address 192..."  

My printer is password protected, and I cannot enter into "factory reset" menu from the "service" area either.

Is there any admin or hard reset available? 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @SCS-Coro,

I'd like to help!

I understand the printer is locked with an adminstrator password

Unfortunately, there is no factory reset option on this printer.

I’d recommend you contact HP Phone Support in your region for assistance

5) Select the chat or get phone number options based on your preferences.

If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.
