How To Reset A Printer's SyncThru Password Using The Control Panel Menu Why Samsung cannot provide this answer to customers calling tech support (or better yet on their website FAQ) I have no idea! However, hopefully me posting this helps other ppl out when they run into this dreaded problem!ĩ3056.
Tried the default user/password and sure enough into the admin menu I was! :thumb: Sooo since it was on I knew some settings had to be reset! I turned the printer back on, and sure enough when it booted I saw my WiFi light on to indicate the wireless radio was enabled I smiled because though it was off and I don't use it, I had intentionally turned the WiFi off on my printer and the only way to turn it on is to go into the admin menu (which I couldn't get into). Unplug it from the AC, and plug it back in. *Note that printers without wireless don't have a WPS button, therefore I'd try just holding the power and cancel buttons, as it should do the same (guessing). After this I couldn't get the printer to do a damn thing, lol-was just frozen in that state and could not turn on fully or off either.
The printer will turn on *partially* and all the toner lights come on as well as the error light. Then hold down all three buttons on the printer (I/O, Cancel, and WPS*) for several seconds. However what I did was take a hint from that reset method and sort of applied it on my machine (a CLP-325W I was locked out of as other posters here have been). Since the regular printers have no screen this is not possible. Says you press some buttons and hold them and then select something on the keypad or LCD screen or whatever. There are solutions on Samsung's site for the all-in-one type printers but not the printers without copy/fax features.
Seems like the newer printers cannot use the "last 8 of MAC address" reset thing as it doesn't work with "admin" and Syncthru Web 2.x doesn't allow you to enter a password without a user ID.
I didn't call/email/chat with Samsung about it because I read enough horror stories about it here and on every other google hit I found with the same problem described. To everyone having this same problem, I found a solution and registered here just to post it for others with the same frustration.
