Hello,

By default the printers does not come with password, have you tried 0000. or 1234, or admin, (you know common pwd´s)

The following information was taken from the printer´s User guide.

Set or change the product password

Use the HP Embedded Web Server to set a password or change an existing password for a product on a

network.

LCD control panel

1. Find the product IP address.

a. On the product control panel, press the Setup button.

b. Open the following menus:

Network Setup

Show IP Address

2. To open the HP Embedded Web Server, enter the product IP address into the address line of a Web

browser.

NOTE: You can also access the HP Embedded Web Server from the HP Device Toolbox for Windows or

the HP Utility for Mac OS X.

3. Click the System tab, and then click the Product Security link.

NOTE: If a password has previously been set, you are prompted to provide the password. Enter the

password, and then click the Apply button.

4. Enter the new password in the New Password box and in the Verify Password box.

5. At the bottom of the window, click the Apply button to save the password.

Touchscreen control panel

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Network button to find the product

IP address.

2. To open the HP Embedded Web Server, enter the product IP address into the address line of a Web

browser.

NOTE: You can also access the HP Embedded Web Server from the HP Device Toolbox for Windows or

the HP Utility for Mac OS X.

3. Click the System tab, and then click the Product Security link.

NOTE: If a password has previously been set, you are prompted to provide the password. Enter the

password, and then click the Apply button.

if that does not help. I´ll suggest you call HP tech support to have them guide you through the reset to recover from a PWD lock.

If you don't remember the password, I think that is better to reset the printer and reconfigure it

Though I work for HP, My posts express My opinion, and not those of HP.
