![]() ![]() How To Reset A Printer's SyncThru Password Using The Control Panel Menu Why Samsung cannot provide this answer to customers calling tech support (or better yet on their website FAQ) I have no idea! However, hopefully me posting this helps other ppl out when they run into this dreaded problem!ĩ3056. Tried the default user/password and sure enough into the admin menu I was! :thumb: ![]() Sooo since it was on I knew some settings had to be reset! I turned the printer back on, and sure enough when it booted I saw my WiFi light on to indicate the wireless radio was enabled I smiled because though it was off and I don't use it, I had intentionally turned the WiFi off on my printer and the only way to turn it on is to go into the admin menu (which I couldn't get into). Unplug it from the AC, and plug it back in. *Note that printers without wireless don't have a WPS button, therefore I'd try just holding the power and cancel buttons, as it should do the same (guessing). After this I couldn't get the printer to do a damn thing, lol-was just frozen in that state and could not turn on fully or off either. The printer will turn on *partially* and all the toner lights come on as well as the error light. Then hold down all three buttons on the printer (I/O, Cancel, and WPS*) for several seconds. However what I did was take a hint from that reset method and sort of applied it on my machine (a CLP-325W I was locked out of as other posters here have been). ![]() Since the regular printers have no screen this is not possible. ![]() Says you press some buttons and hold them and then select something on the keypad or LCD screen or whatever. There are solutions on Samsung's site for the all-in-one type printers but not the printers without copy/fax features. Seems like the newer printers cannot use the "last 8 of MAC address" reset thing as it doesn't work with "admin" and Syncthru Web 2.x doesn't allow you to enter a password without a user ID. I didn't call/email/chat with Samsung about it because I read enough horror stories about it here and on every other google hit I found with the same problem described. To everyone having this same problem, I found a solution and registered here just to post it for others with the same frustration. ![]()
