imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 Factory reset

[JPM]

I have a prograf 1100. The password was changed from the factory default. The password is lost. How to I perform a factory reset? The procedures in the manual require the password. Unless I can reset the passsword the printer is useless.

Hi Patrick, I have the exact same problem but when I try to reset all settings its still asking me for the admin password to confirm the reset. Is there any other way?

Is there a password listed?

Or is that entry blank, as in the example below?

Hi MC6, 

With plain paper loaded, please perform the following:

2.  Use the down arrow to select LAN settings and then press the OK button.

3.  Use the down arrow to select Print details and press the OK button.

4.  "Do you want to print the LAN details?" will appear.  Select Yes and press the OK button.

5.  "Is it OK to display/print the password?" appears next.  Please select ON and press the OK button.

On the first page of the pages that printed, does your password appear to the right of "1-4 Default Password" ?
