HP Recommended
Product: ENVY 6000
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,


I recently added an admin password to my ENVY 6000 printer because it is used on a shared wifi connection.

However I forgot the password and can't change any of the printer settings without it.

I tried factory resetting the printer but since the printer doesn't have a display and all the settings are changed via the HP Smart app, I needed my admin password for that too.

 

On a sidenote, I would also like to ask if it is possible to password protect the printer so not everyone on the shared wifi can use it. 

 

Thanks in advance

Senne B
