Admin password change for HP Color LaserJet CP4020 printer


Printer Driver for HP Color LaserJet CP1217Can't change or set password in Windows 7Can't connect to remote machine via SSH - error: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive)I cannot add a network printer to my windows 10 machine. Access is denied even when I set no username or password“The user name or password is incorrect” when entering a correct passwordNon destructive change of Windows 10 administrator account passwordWindows Server VMs can't change administrator passwordAccess denied after UNIX password changeWindows looping back to login screen for admin accountMake wired printer a wireless

I'm having an issue logging in to the administrative functions with an HP Color LaserJet CP4020 model printer. I contacted HP about the problem, but they weren't any help since it's no longer under warranty.



The printer is a network printer in a business office setting. I recently set an admin password in the printer's web console (type in the printer's IP, go into Settings, changed the password). I was able to log in to the administrative functions successfully with that password.



The network administrator wanted to change the password by adding three more characters to the end password. In order to do that, I went back in to the same admin interface and typed the three new digits at the end of the password.



I'll try to articulate this part as best I can: at the time, the password was still hidden (just a series of black circles). I typed the three new characters at the end of the circles. I think my mistake was that I didn't clear the box entirely and then retype the entire password.



So basically:



"OriginalPassword" was shown as ********** in the "password" box and I just typed "123" at the end of **********. So it was **********123 which then became *************.



I hope that makes sense. Either way, I am now no longer able to log in with either the previous password or the previous password + 3 new characters.



Do I need to just factory reset the machine? I can't seem to find instructions on that and, as I said, the HP chat support hasn't been helpful. Thanks in advance!
