HP Officejet 4632
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Officejet 4632 printer that I had changed the admin password to but have since forgot it. I intend on getting a new printer however right now I can't due to being let go from my job because I have liver failure. I can't setup the scanner or scan from the computer without this being reset. I have tried hard reset but it still says incorrect info of admin and admin admin password etc. 

 

I need to reset this printer to have all factory settings including whether it uses the htpps or not. Please help

2) Press the button next to Settings to access the Wireless Settings menu.
3) Select Restore Defaults.
4) Confirm the selection to restore defaults.

 

Step 2 Reboot the devices -
1) Turn off the Router, Printer, and the computer. 
2) Wait for 60 seconds. 
3) Turn on the Router first and wait for all the lights to stabilize. 
4) Turn on the printer and allow it to configure itself. 
5) Turn on the computer.

2) Scroll to select Wireless Setup Wizard, and then press OK.
