At this time I am going to send you a Private Message with the instructions on how to perform the Semi-Full Programming Reset on your printer. The Reset is sent via Private Message because it is not intended for public use. Please refer to your Private Messages for further instruction.

Hey there @slashedeye,

 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Forums! 🙂

I see that you have misplaced the Administrator password for your HP Photosmart 7520 All-in-One and because of this you are now locked out of features for your printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue.

Once i do the reset, would it still prompt for admin credentials? If so, what would be the DEFAULT username and password?

Hey @slashedeye,

 

 

Thanks for getting back to me! 🙂

 

Because this is a consumer grade product there are no default Administrator usernames or passwords on the product. Once the Reset is complete you will have a clean slate to work with with no Administrator prompt at all. 

 

I hope this clears up any confusion! You may also click the 'thumbs up' icon below to say "thanks for helping!" Good luck! 🙂
