If you own an HP LaserJet MFP M130fw with a touchscreen, and you find yourself locked out because you don’t know the admin password, don’t worry — there’s a way to access the service menu without the password.
When you try to enter the service menu, it just shows a password screen, which can be frustrating. Typically, the solution is to reset the printer or bypass the password to regain access to the menu functions.
One effective approach is to perform a hardware reset or a specific button combination that resets the printer’s settings to factory defaults. Keep in mind, this may erase some custom settings, so it should be used carefully.
Here’s how to proceed:
- Turn off the printer completely.
- With the printer powered off, press and hold the Resume button (often shaped like a circular arrow) and then press the Power button simultaneously.
- Keep holding both buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds.
- Release the Power button first, then the Resume button.
- Turn the printer back on normally.
This process sometimes resets certain settings, including passwords, allowing you access to the menu again.
If this doesn’t work or you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to consult the official HP support page or contact their customer service. They can guide you through more advanced reset procedures without risking damage to your device.
Remember, always proceed with caution when modifying your printer’s settings, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the procedures.
