Is there any possibility to reset the admin password at the EWS? 

So I just set a password by copying it from my keepass file and tried to log in, which repeatedly failed. No password as well as admin as password failed as well.

Resetting the network did not help as now the printer is in the wrong subnet and I still cannot access the EWS.

Managed to solve it by my own. The maximum password length is 16 characters. So i just needed to trim the saved password.

I've followed this process to factory reset my HP DeskJet 2620.

STEP 1 - Hold the Wireless and Cancel (X) buttons for 3 seconds to reset the Wi-Fi connection.
STEP 2 - With the wireless connection led blinking hold the Resume and Color Copy buttons for 10 seconds. Without releasing the Resume and Color Copy buttons pull the power cable and replug it again and keep holding the buttons for 20s more.

Your print will be factory reset after that.
