I recently changed our router and so I need to change the Wireless settings on my OfficeJet Pro 6978. But most of the options are greyed out and I get a message that says "This feature has been locked by the person who set up the printer." I didn't intentionally lock anything out, so is there a way to manually reset the printer? The Reset Network Settings option is unavailable as well.
