Hi @NanKewp,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

Let's walk through resetting your HP5745 printer to its factory settings, step by step, like returning to a calm, clear state.

1. Pause and Breathe:

• Picture your printer as a canvas cluttered with old settings and past configurations. We’re about to wipe it clean, giving it a fresh start, like a breath of crisp morning air.

2. Touch the Control Panel:

• Feel the smooth surface of the printer’s touchscreen. As you gently press the "Home" button, imagine you’re opening a door to a quiet room where you can begin the reset process.

3. Navigate to Settings:

• Your fingers glide across the screen, seeking out the "Setup" or "Settings" icon. It’s like turning a key in a lock, bringing you closer to resetting everything to its original state.

4. Find the Reset Option:

• Scroll down until you find the “Printer Maintenance” or “Tools” menu. Each swipe of your finger feels like brushing away dust, revealing the option you need: “Restore Factory Defaults”.

5. Confirm the Reset:

• When you tap on “Restore Factory Defaults,” it’s as if you’re pressing a reset button in your mind, letting go of all the clutter. A prompt appears, asking if you’re sure you want to proceed. With a deep breath, you tap “Yes,” feeling a sense of release as the printer begins to reset.

6. Watch the Transformation:

• The screen flickers, and for a moment, the printer pauses, like a deep exhale. Then, it starts to reboot. As it powers back up, it’s like watching the dawn break—everything is fresh, new, and ready to start again.

7. Begin Anew:

• When the printer restarts, it’s as though you’re seeing it for the first time. The familiar settings are gone, replaced by the simplicity of factory defaults. Now, you can set it up again, just the way you like—calm, clear, and ready to print without the baggage of past configurations.

By resetting your printer, you've cleared away the noise, leaving behind a clean, open space for smooth, uninterrupted performance.
