OfficeJet PRO 8600: Reset the administrative password on an Officejet PRO 8600

I lost a large part of the contents of a Mac 4 years when an electrical short burned inside in a way that Apple could not determine the cause. The end result is that I found that the administrative password for my 8600 died with the old Mac that I have been unable to recover the keychain that had all the information a password in it. I wish now that more importance was pointed out in the instructions when passwords have been set up, on the future need for them to use as many important features of the printer.

I would appreciate much all guidanc I can get in how to reset the administrative password of my 8600.

Hi @Redwoc,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I see that you are trying to reset the administrative password for your HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I'm happy to help you!

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 then you must scroll down to see it.
 
This clears all the settings of the printer, including the administrator password.

I hope this helps!

  • How to reset the administrator password in my Windows XP Virtual Machine

    I just created a Windows XP virtual machine and have been using it without any problem.  Today, I started the machine and he asked an administrator password.  I believe that I have not set up one that I've never been asked before.

    How can I reset my password or I have to rebuild a new machine?

    Can I use a password reset utility?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Kind regards

    Doug U - M

    If an empty password does not work then you probably have to rebuild the virtual machine. This time, I recommend adopt you the practice of setting up a second admin account immediately and make a note of the password. It's the same when you buy a new car: you get at least two sets of keys.

  • can I reset an administrator password with a reset disk created on a standard account on the same computer?

    I forgot my password to administrstor. I have a reset disk, but it was created under the standard account on the same computer and for some reason that I have problems to use it to reset the administrator password. I am able to do?

    No, the password reset disks only helps with the account, they were made on [otherwise any user could reset the admin password & enter this account].

    There are some things you can try in the PDF Password Reset Disk step by step Guide to http://www.itknowledge24.com/ but you may not be able to solve the problem without reinstall Windows & lose the current contents of the disc.

  • Need to override the administrator password

    I need to reset the administrator password, because the person who has the password is not the owner or the user of this computer or operating system and cannot be found. the owner of this computer and OS wants to be the administrator of his computer again. How can I change the password? Please help ASAP

    1. it depends on how your password has been strong, experienced how are thieves and how long they have.  If you have a password (alpha-numberic with special signs) and thieves are not very experienced, they can't

    2-If your password is not strong, or that they are very experienced, they may very well.

    3 - If you have the key and can prove to the satisfaction of MS they can mark the invalid key and they will not be able to get updates etc.

    If you need more specific info, please give us more details.  (do not give the key to us, or any sensitive information)

    Good luck and let us know if we can help

  • acct user does not accept the administrator password

    I put user accounts when I try to make aplications, I am asked to use the administrator password, but it wont open indicating that this is the wrong password

    Hi assia,.

    You should check your setup of the keybord layout so it has not changed mapping.
    One thing is to write the password in a notebook to see that it is correct.

    There is no universal way to reset the administrator password.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Could you give some information about the operating system on the unit and the details of the model of the device.

    Since you wil be able to reset the administrator password, if you're running Windows XP. Apart from this if you use another operating system like Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 or 10 Windows, you need to reinstall the operating system.

  • I forgot the administrator password & can not reset in!

    • I changed the administrator password last week and now I forgot what it was. I can't access or change the password, or reinstall windows. It asks password each time. I do not have a password reset disk.
    • Another user is available

    You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Somehow my diary of the administrator password does not work, no disc reset

    original title: locked out! Help, please

    Somehow my diary of the administrator password does not work. I tried everyting. I use Windows Vista.

    I continue to be asked to provide a 'A' floppy to recover my password, but there is no floppy drive on my computer.  I have not configured a retreival diskette.

    I am not able to access all the programs that I installed as an administrator through the comments log in.

    I tried to re - install the complete operating system after no longer being able to access my programs and I am not allowed to do it either.

    I'm at my wit's end! Can someone please?

    Thank you

    Completely lost in cyber space.

    Hello AdrianaMonti,

    I'm sorry but the Microsoft forum rules do not help users circumvent passwords of Windows OS or software systems.

    I do not understand why you have problems with re-setup because it has nothing to do with your original administrator password. Your copy of Windows came pre-installed on your PC or did you buy a boxed copy and install it yourself?

    If you are unable to re - install probably you get error messages. What these error messages?
