Hello I  am harshdeep singh. I am Junior Technical Assistant  

Here are the steps to reset the admin password on an HP Deskjet 3636 All-in-One printer:

Press the Power button to turn the printer off.
Hold down the Resume button and at the same time press the Power button. Hold both buttons down until the Power button starts blinking.
Release both buttons. You should see a menu appear on the small LCD display screen.
Press the down arrow button until the setting to reset administrator settings or restore factory defaults appears. Press OK to select the reset option.
The printer display will show a prompt confirming if you want to restore factory default settings. Press the OK button again to confirm.
The printer will reset all settings, including the admin password, back to the factory defaults. This may take a few minutes.
Once the reset process completes, the printer will be back at the main ready screen. You can now access the admin menu using the default admin password which should be the last 6 digits of your printer serial number.
That's it. Let me know if you have any other questions about resetting your HP printer
