Hi all
I changed my network SSID & PW but I forgot the password for the printer web page.
Password was written in a notebook and notebook is moved at the moment by the cleaning person.
Please HELP! Is there anyway I can reset the printer so that the admin password is also re-set. I try to reinstall the software printers, also I am not able to change the ip address and right now, there is no ip address... get no link and no ip address and no network... Please anyone who can help... Please help.
* I read some part... to power off the printer, then press the power button on... and continue pressing the back button where he would have, for some time the printer is back back (it was to reset the printer)... which is about 23 times... zero.
I really want to THANK you ALL for READING THIS & YOUR TIME. So please help if you can...
and ideas?
Thank you, xxVEGASxx
* xxVEGASxx *.You can do a reset of the printer using the LED screen on the printer.
Select Configuration, then Tools, then restore the default settings. "Restore default settings" is the last element of the list and you will have to scroll down to see it.
Which erases all settings, including the password for the printer.
To reset you describe is probably the one mentioned in this article:
http://resetprinters.com/how-to-reset-the-HP-OfficeJet-Pro-8600-premium-all-in-one-printer/
but it's probably a deeper reset that you really need anyway.

Mr President.
I got the admin password in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?There is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. However, you can do this:
- Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
- Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
- Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
- Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
- Select 'Repair' when prompted.
- When you are prompted, select System Restore.
- Configure Windows to a point until you have changed the password.
- Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.

Need to fix the Windows XP but I forgot the admin password...
My windows XP is restarting frequently and not allow me to connect... So I tried to fix my Windows xp using the recovery option... but to use this option, I need Admin password that I forgot. Please help me to overcome this problem...
You could look at this http://www.ubcd4win.com/howto.htm
If you do this, you should be able to do a system restore to a few days ago.
Or even better yet, in the boot for cd menu, go to Offline NT Password & registry Editor, and press ENTER. Then let it boot and select your windows partition (if one only, there should be one [1] right next to the slider.) Press ENTER. Unless you have a different path, press ENTER, and then press ENTER. Press enter once more. Now, select the administrator account and press on enter and clear the password (number 1) to clear the password. Then type in one!, hit enter, type q and press ENTER, type Y and press ENTER. If it says complete edition, press on enter, equip you XP CD and press Ctrl Alt Delete. Now, restart in your installation cd and enter the password as nothing.
Hope this helps,

I forgot the admin password Windows 8 may not have passed the login screen no recovery disk
Start the computer to the admin login screen. You have forgotten this password and do not have a recovery disk.
While your application may very well be authentic, it could also be interpreted as a surreptitious attempt to bypass Windows security.
The only recommended method to retrieve an administrative password is to login as another administrator account and reset the password to a known unknown. If the administrative passwords could be easily overcome, there would not be much point in them.
It is in the terms of use and the Code of conduct of the responses of these forums to request or provide assistance to the cracking a password. Do not forget that you agreed to these and review if necessary.
You can view the policy of Microsoft about lost or forgotten passwords (KB189126) for more information on what resources are available to you.
The only advice I can offer you is either log - on another user with administrator privileges and reset your password to a new, use the password reset disk that you created when you set up your account, start guessing what the password could possibly be or reinstall Windows by default.

My father died a month ago. He didn't tell anyone, including my mother her password. He disabled the built-in Administrator account and we do not know what password. I tried to reinstall Windows 10 but it need the administrator password.
Would like to help please.
I've gotta save something for a contest of school and I can't record using a basic user account.Thank you for the information, @Afiq5404.
I am not sure if you can actually reset to win 10, but you can see what happens when you start the recovery. You can always cancel the installation if it is not to win 10.
