I would like to apologize to all that sent me the answers for my problem. It's been a very busy 4 months. I'm getting older and my body is letting me know. Thank you so very much for your help. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Kumar0307, I am having the same issue with the admin password on my 8715 officejet pro. I’ve restored the network settings, but am still prompted to log in with the correct admin credentials - it’s not allowing me to reset the password. Any help would be appreciated.
