HP Color Laserjet MFP M477 Factory Reset solution

Discovered this simple way of doing the Factory Reset.

Power off the printer by pressing the Power button for about 5 sec. (wait about 10 sec. before continuing).

Turn ON printer by pressing the Power button.

About 1-2 sec. later press where the progress bar starts (in the bottom left side of the display).

(The progress bar starts as a small 5mm x 5mm white block).

Press that small white block of the progress bar, as soon as you see it.

Keep pressing it until the display shows "Permanent Storage Init.".

HP MFP M477 has now been reset to Factory settings.

Have tried it several times and it works every time.
