Dell C1765NF Forgotten Administrator Password to Printer Configuration Web Tool

Hi All,

Can you help? I need to reset the password in onder to make configurations?

I found this page on clearing the NVRAM however am worried that if I select: 

  • "Reset Defaults of User (Scan) Section" - initializes the e-mail and server address entries in the Address Book.

And this doesn't actually reset the password for the web tool, then I can't even scan to my NAS anymore, or access the tool to set it up again.

C1765nf / C1765nfw

Reset NVRAM/Network/Other Settings

System Settings

  • Press the Menu button.
  • Press Down to "System" and press Select the checkmark.
  • Press Down to "Admin Menu" and press Select the checkmark.
  • Press Down to "Maintenance" and press Select the checkmark.
  • Press Down to "Initialize NVM" and press Select the checkmark.
  • Press Down until the desired setting is highlighted, and press Select the checkmark.
    • "Reset Defaults and Restart Printer" - initializes the system parameters.
    • "Reset Defaults of User (Fax) Section" - initializes the fax number entries in the Address Book.
    • "Reset Defaults of User (Scan) Section" - initializes the e-mail and server address entries in the Address Book.
  • Press Down to "Yes" and press Select the checkmark.
  • The printer restarts automatically to apply the settings.

 

I'm not sure what to do, can you help?

I found the answer

For anyone who comes across this issue go to your printer system settings > admin tools > network and initialise the NVRAM. This will reset the security settings...of course will differ depending on the model you have.
