I understand that you would like to reset the password.

 

You may want to try these steps to reset your admin password:

  • Restore network defaults on the printer from this user guide: http://hp.care/2ueA6jW and refer to page 72 on how to do it.
  • Now follow all the prescribed steps from this link: http://hp.care/2EC8RC6  (HP DeskJet GT 5820 Printer - Wireless Printer Setup (Windows)
