Hello, I was reading a thread about the 7610 Admin reset. We have an old printer that we need to reset the admin password in order to setup the wifi option. Would you be able to send the info on how to reset or change the admin password. I tried the hard reset and it doesn't seem to work. Thank you

Hello,

Remember the password, because the user name (admin) doesn't change?
Type admin as the user name, and type the password you created to log in to the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS).

If you remember the password, please access the printer's web interface and click the Settings tab.
Then expand the Security section, and then click Password Settings, and finally if you do not want a password, delete the password and leave the fields blank before clicking Apply.

I remain at your disposal in case of need.

Best regards,:Wink:
