Somewhere along the way, I lost the Username/Password and PIN (and don't recall actually setting them up). I can print wirelessly, but can only scan to a memory device. The scanner sees my laptop but scanning fails every time. I get this message: "SCAN FAILED. The action “Move Finder Items” encountered an error." This function used to work, but stopped for what reason I don't know. I know in trying to troubleshoot at one point, I also actually locked myself out of the ability to access many settings.
How do I fix all this, so that I can set this up to scan to my computer, email, etc., and set up other functions? Looking at HP documentation does not help!!!

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers.
As I understand you want information about resetting the username/ password, and pin,
Thank you for providing such details that help me get right to the point, rather than probing for more information, I appreciate it.
It looks like the only way to get past this situation is to perform a reset and revert back to factory defaults,
