OK so I've done the reset and I'm being prompted for the admin password still.

I enter admin and the password "password" ""

Presumably it's set to the default, which I can't find

regards

Kevin

Hi @klynchk,

 

Thanks for providing that information and the screen shot.

 

So it looks like the printer isn't resetting the passwords.

 

We will have to update the printer's firmware to try and resolve this issue.

 

I would suggest to install the printer by a USB connection.

Then run the firmware update on the printer, HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer. Select your operating system.

Try the setup again.

If it still fails, try the Semi Reset again. (the firmware update should resolve this issue)

If the issue persists, the printer will need to be serviced.

 

If the issue continues, please Contact HP Support for further assistance. Fill in the model number and the form to receive a case number for quicker assistance.

 

Please keep me posted. Thank you.
