I have a HP Ink Tank Wireless 415 Printer.
I forgot the administrator username and password for my printer. As a result I cannot change EWS settings.
Please help me reset my printer's administrator username and password.
Thank you.

I recommend performing a factory reset on the printer. This will restore it to its default settings, allowing you to set it up again and start fresh.
You may refer to this guide: Restore factory defaults on your HP printer | HP® Support
