Hi @VIKRAMBM,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

To access the Embedded Web Server (EWS) for your HP Ink Tank Wireless 419 printer, the default Administrator password is typically "admin". If you need to reset the password, follow these steps:

 

1. Try Default Credentials

  • Username: admin
  • Password: Leave it blank or try admin

 

2️. Reset Printer Settings (Including Admin Password)

If the default credentials don’t work, reset the printer’s network settings:

  1. Turn on the printer.
  2. Press and hold the Wireless button (📶) and the Cancel () button for 5 seconds.
  3. The Wi-Fi light will blink, and the settings will reset.

💡 After this, try accessing EWS again with default credentials.

 

3️. Find Printer IP Address & Access EWS

If the password is still unknown, follow these steps:

  1. Print a Network Configuration Page
  • Press and hold the Wi-Fi (📶) button and Information (ℹ️) button for 3 seconds.
  • The report will show the IP Address of the printer (e.g., 192.168.1.xxx).
  1. Enter the IP Address in your web browser.
  2. Go to Settings > Security > Administrator Settings and check or reset the password.

 

4️. Hard Reset

If none of the above works, try a full factory reset (this erases all settings):

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Press and hold the Power button.
  3. While holding Power, press the Wi-Fi button (📶) 6 times and then the Cancel button () 6 times.
  4. Release the Power button.
  5. The printer will restart and reset to factory settings.

After this, try logging into EWS again using the default credentials from Step 1.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
