@gullere, Thanks for your quick response and time.
I appriciate your efforts for writing back to us.
As you mentioned you have issues accessing EWS page using the default username and password.
Try the steps recommended below.
Open a web browser and type the printer IP address in the address field exactly as it appears on the Configuration Page, and then press Enter.
Click the Security tab, and under General Security, set the local administrator password.
Keep the username default as admin.
Type the New Password and Verify Password.
Navigate to the bottom of the page and click Apply.
Use these credentials the next time you Log In to the EWS.
Let me know if this helps!
Take Care! 🙂
