1710n Administrator password reset

Question

Does anyone know of how to reset the administrator password on the 1710n laser printer.  I have 4 of these printers on the network and I cannot administer this particular one because of a password lockout.  Thanks.

I had the same problem, and I found the following thread: http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=S2500&message.id=10693 Check out cscjmg's post at the end. This process worked on my 1710n. Warning that it wipes out all of the device's settings. To make life a bit easier, first print a status page (press continue) and that will give you the restore details before you start. Also note that you will want to get a status page after the reset so that youy have the new IP address. Anne

What was the solution? The support forums aren't linking to the cscjmg's answer anymore.
