reset password on 1700n printer?

Hi:

The previous admin left without leaving the password to the printer.

How do I reset the password it to?

I spoke with a Dell tech, whom asked me to download USBFlash.exe from the FTP site.

The program ran for 20 minutes without giving a GUI, I gave up on the program.

Anybody out there has any ideas?

Thanks...

power off the printer

open front/top cover

press and HOLD the Cancel and Continue buttons

continue to hold the buttons and power on the printer

the buttons may be released only AFTER the lights on the panel begin to cycle

when the only light remaining ON is the Error ( ! ) light, close the cover.

That should do it...... but this clears everything.
