You can set an administrator password to prevent unauthorized
access or changes to general product settings and network settings
stored in the product when connecting to a network.
The default value of the administrator password is printed on
the product's label. The label is located on the side, the back, or
the bottom, depending on the product. If there is no "Password"
label attached, enter the serial number from the label attached to
the bottom of the product for the default administrator
password.
You must enter the administrator password when
performing the following operations:
- Accessing the advanced settings in Web Config
- Updating your product's firmware from a computer or smart
device
- Using applications that can change the product's settings
- Selecting a menu on the control panel that has been locked by
an administrator
- Changing or resetting the administrator password
You can change the administrator password from the
product's control panel or Web Config. The new password must
be 8 to 20 characters long and only contain single-byte
alphanumeric characters and symbols.
You can restore the administrator password to the
default setting from the product's control panel (
Settings >
System
Administration >
Restore Default
Settings >
All Settings)
or Web Config. If you have forgotten the password and cannot
restore it to the default settings, contact Epson for help.
Note: Resetting
the administrator password also resets the user name.
