Hi @haufi,

 

I'd like to help!

 

We can perform a factory defaults on the printer to resolve the issue

 

  • The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
  • I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
  • In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Support Community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

What am I going to do? I have a printer without wifi connection, it is the model MFP 178nwg. Therefore, I do not have a WPS PIN. So I can't reconstruct the password set by the possibly buggy HP firmware. How can I log into the interface of the printer? Urgent. admin + blank password does not work. All the tutorials here uprocked to no avail. the printer does not offer ssh so I cannot use this route anyway.
