Hello, @karim7000 – Hope you are well 🙂

Thank you for engaging in HP Support Forums. I am glad to be of your assistance!

I understand your printer is asking for an administrator password. Is the printer connected to the network already? If so, let’s try to fix the issue by following the steps mentioned below:
 

• Launch the printer EWS page using the IP address.
• Access the network menu.
• Select "Restore network defaults".
• Restart the printer and check.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance.

Cheers 🙂

Hello, @karim7000

Try entering the username as ADMIN and leave the password blank and check. Try username as admin if ADMIN does not work.

If that does not work, please contact the HP phone support for further assistance.
