i want to factory reset my hp 419 ink tank

[amit11081990]

HP engineer setup the admin password for my HP inktank wireless 419 printer during first installation. I forgot same now and could not locate the password. Because of this I am not able to open many features of Printer EWS page or connect the printer to new Wifi now. I only have to use WiDI or USB cable to connect to printer. Please help me to reset the printer to factory default so i can again access admin menu in EWS and setup printer to connect new Wifi networks. I have searched similar problems on support here but all had given solution on private message so please send me that .

Hi @amit11081990,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To factory reset your HP Ink Tank Wireless 419 printer, follow these steps:

Factory Reset Instructions:

Turn on the Printer: Make sure your printer is powered on.

Access the Control Panel:

• On the printer's control panel, navigate to Settings (gear icon).

Find the Reset Option:

• Look for Printer Maintenance or Tools in the menu.

Select Restore Factory Defaults:

• Choose Restore Factory Defaults or a similar option.

Confirm the Reset: Follow any on-screen prompts to confirm the reset.

After Reset:

• Once the printer resets, you’ll need to set it up again, including connecting it to your Wi-Fi network.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
