Common problems HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to scan
We would like to share some of the most frequently asked questions about HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to Scan.
HP Recommended
Officejet Pro 8740
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Embedded Web Server on Office Jet Pro 8740 asks for SignIn. I have forgotten the password I've set for admin. 

-- I have attempted the Semi-Full reset. 

-- I have navigated through the control panel on the print to execute "Restore Network Settings" 

Neither of these approaches achieve a reset of the embedded web server's admin password back to default.

Please message me the proper procedure to accomplish this. 

 

In short, I am unable to "Sign In"  into the embedded web server for my Office Jet Pro 8740. 

Entering "admin" for the username, while leaving the password field blank, results in failed login attempt.
