Hello all,

We have a big problem.... We need to change IP settings on our HP color
laserjet 4500, but we lost the password..

Is there anyway to recover or reset the password?

Thanks !

Look at the User Guide that came with your printer, or ask google. I'm
sure you'll find what you need there.

Cold reset is achieved as follows
Select RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULTS from the Reset menu.

You can enter Service mode as follows, be careful what you change in service
mode.
1 Hold down the CANCEL JOB key and SELECT key while turning the
printer on until the display is blank and the 3 LEDs are on.
2 Press the right side of the MENU key, and then press the SELECT
key.
Service mode will be displayed on the front panel briefly followed by
two rows of asterisks. The printer will go through its normal start up
cycle then display SERVICE MODE on the front panel.
3 Press the MENU key to access the Service menu.

Joah-

Hold down the Pause/Resume button while turning on the power. That resets
everything, as far as I know. The trouble is that you have to re-enter
all the data, not just the password.

You may have to enter the IP address manually, but then you can connect to
its web server for the rest. (Resetting the IP address is easy if you are
running HP LaserJet Utility on a Classic Macintosh!)
