Factory reset HP8630 - cant because I dont remember ADMIN password

[schiehsl]

I have settings on the printer that are incorrect. (old email address, etc)  It has been set up with a login and password.  I am unable to access several functions.  I would like to do a factory reset.  Can you explain how to perform this operation?

Hi @schiehsl

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the password. 

Please try restoring the network settings to defaults - 

1. From the printer control panel, touch and slide your finger across the screen, touch Setup, and then touch Network Setup.
2. Touch Restore Network Defaults, and then touch Yes.
A message appears stating that the network defaults have been restored.
3. Touch OK.

If the issue still persists, I have sent you a private message with the steps to reset the printer. Check next to your profile Name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.   

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hello Asmita,  thanks for the reply.  That did not work.  Also, i do not have any message or little blue envelope next to my profile name.  Can you still help?
