Steps to reset the default admin password for Dell Printer

Whenever you want to reset or recover the default admin password for your Dell printer you will need to reset the Non-volatile random-access memory or NVRAM. You can refer to the steps given below to recover the factory default password:

·  Step 1: Turn on your Dell Printer and press the menu button

·  Step 2: Use the down or up arrow buttons to locate the ‘Configure’ option

·  Step 3: Once the ‘Configure’ option is displayed, press ‘Enter’ and proceed

·  Step 4: Once again use the down or up arrow buttons to find ‘Network’

·  Step 5: Press the arrows until ‘Init NVRAM’ is displayed on the panel

·  Step 6: Click ‘Enter’ and when the display indicates “Init NVRAM Are you sure?” click ‘Enter’ once again.

The next message should read “Initializing, Initialized”. When you see the ‘Restart Printer’ message you will need to switch the AC power off for about 5 seconds and then turn it back on again.

Dell Printer users should note that resetting the NVRAM will automatically clear all the customized network settings you have saved on your printer. That is why Dell recommends taking a printout of your current printer and panel settings reports before you attempt to reset the Non-volatile random-access memory.
