HP LaserJet Pro M404dn - Restore the factory-set defaults

Restoring the factory-set defaults returns all of the printer and network settings to the factory defaults, and it also deletes any pages that are stored in the memory. It will not reset the page count, tray size, or language.

NOTE:

Restoring to factory-set defaults will NOT reset the Embedded Web Server (EWS) password. If you lost your EWS password, please contact HP Customer Support.

The steps vary according to the type of control panel.
