Hi @flame_ardor,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! 🙂 I understand you would like to reset the password for your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3545.
You should be able to do this by restoring the Network Defaults in the front panel of the DJ 3545:
On the printer control panel, press the Wireless button. The Wireless menu displays.
Press the button next to Settings.
Press the Down Arrow to select Restore Defaults, and then press OK.
Press OK again to confirm your selection.
NOTE: You will need to reconnect your printer back to your wireless network.
Did this help? If not continue below:
The lockout is really designed for the printers to prevent others from making printer changes that could affect how the printer behaves. For example, to keep the date and time set to that faxes show an accurate receive time.
Get the printer's IP address by pressing the network icon at the top of the screen.
Enter this IP address into the address bar of a web browser on a computer. The printer's status page should load. If you receive any certificate warnings, choose the option that lets you continue anyway.
Click on Settings and then go to Administrator Settings on the left. Many of the features of the front panel are controlled here. Make sure everything is checked except for Control Panel Lock. Once this is set, click apply.
Power off the printer for at least 1 minute and then power it back on to force the new setting to take effect.
The Admin settings page should look similar to this screenshot when it is set the way it should be.
I hope this helps, let me know the outcome. I will watch for your reply.
