HI @tkg685,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If you’ve forgotten the admin ID or password for your HP LaserJet MFP 2606sdw printer, you can try the following steps to reset or change it. The specific steps may vary slightly depending on your printer's firmware version, but this guide should cover the common methods.

**1. Reset to Factory Defaults

Note: This method will reset the printer to its original factory settings, which includes the admin password. This will remove all customized settings and configurations.

Access the Printer’s Control Panel:

• Use the printer’s control panel to navigate through the menu options.

Navigate to the Service Menu:

• Find the Setup or Service menu. This may be labeled differently depending on your printer model.

Perform a Factory Reset:

• Look for an option that says Restore Defaults, Factory Reset, or something similar. Select this option and confirm your choice.

Reboot the Printer:

• After the reset is complete, the printer will reboot. The admin password should be reset to its default value, which is typically blank or "admin".

**2. Use the Default Admin Credentials

Default Passwords:

• Many HP printers use default credentials for initial setup. Common default admin usernames and passwords are:
  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin or blank

To Try Default Credentials:

Access the Printer’s Web Interface:

• Open a web browser on a computer that is connected to the same network as the printer.
• Enter the printer’s IP address into the browser’s address bar. You can find the IP address by printing a Network Configuration Page from the printer's control panel.

Login with Default Credentials:

• Enter the default admin username and password to log in.

**3. Reset via Web Interface

If you can log into the printer’s web interface using default credentials or another admin account:

Log into the Web Interface:

• Open a browser and enter the printer’s IP address.
• Login with the current admin credentials (default or otherwise).

Change the Admin Password:

• Navigate to Security or Administrator Settings.
• Look for an option to change the password or admin ID and set a new password.

Save Settings:

• Make sure to save the new settings and reboot the printer if required.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
