For some reason the "tech support" people at Hewlett-Packard don't

since then, so I no longer remember what the default is. (It's
really a longer story than that, but....) So I was just hoping that
someone here might know what that default password is. Mine is an
Officejet Pro 8620, but perhaps some other, recent HP printer
default password would work. (Yes, I've already tried various
versions of "admin", an empty password, and others, but just not
anything which has worked.)
Judging from this thread, there may not be one.

It's an 8600 rather than 8620 but it seems as if you may have to do a
reset.
Trying to resolve a previous and unrelated problem, I did a reset
("semi-full" reset) per instructions from an hp tech two days ago.
That's when the password problem first showed up. I was able to log
into the EWS several times with my own password with no problem at all.
When I first got this printer six months ago, as part of the setup, I
changed the EWS password from the default password (as said, which I no
longer remember) to my own password. Since the reset, my own password
no longer works.
If, as that forum posting claims, there is "no password", they why am I
being blocked access to the embedded web server...? being asked for a
username and password? (Of course this is a rhetorical question.)
