For some reason the "tech support" people at Hewlett-Packard don't
know what the default password is to access their printer's embedded
web server (EWS). I got it myself from the installation manual six
months ago and immediately set my own password which I have used
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.
if you got it from the manual, six months ago, have you looked there
again to find out what it is, so you could try it now?
Fred, really? If that were an option for me, don't you think I
would have done that?
You didn't mention whether you had or not, and I know that's the
kind of silly mistake some people make (like, e.g., me) so I didn't
see the harm in asking.
the answer is probably going to turn out to be something alarmingly
silly (it just has that feel to it), so what's the harm of a silly
suggestion?
No harm. That suggestion just seemed very patronizing, something
someone would say to someone five years old. I've already gotten five
hours of that and the most idiotic and absurd comments and suggestions
from HP's tech support.
True, I didn't mention that the manual's gone missing. But I thought
that fact would be obvious and not in need of explaining.
