To enhance the security of your Epson printer, it's essential to update the default administrator password. Here's how to proceed:
Locate the Default Password:
The default administrator password is typically the product's serial number or a specific code found on a label attached to the printer. This label is usually located on the side where the cover opens, the back, or the bottom of the printer.
Access the Printer's Web Config Interface:
Ensure your printer is connected to the same network as your computer.
Open a web browser and enter the printer's IP address to access the Web Config page.
Log in using the default credentials. Note that the default username is often blank, and the password is the printer's serial number.
Change the Administrator Password:
Navigate to the "Product Security" or "Security Settings" section.
Select "Change Administrator Password."
Enter the current password, then input and confirm the new, strong password.
Alternatively, Use the Printer's Control Panel:
Press the "Settings" button on the printer.
Go to "General Settings" > "System Administration" > "Security Settings" > "Admin Settings."
Choose "Admin Password" and follow the prompts to set a new password.
Regularly updating your Epson printer login credentials helps prevent unauthorized access and maintains the security of your device.
