Error to change admin's password

[KORTX]

I logged in to the admin account with the serial number as the password.

And then, I tried to change the password.

But!!!!! It does not work.

The printer shows the following message, "Unable to continue. Try again later.".

How should I do?

Change the system administrator password at the control panel:

1. Login as System Administrator at the control panel. Refer to Login or Logout as System Administrator from the Control Panel
2. At the control panel touch screen, touch Device, then touch Tools.
3. Touch Security Settings > Change Admin Password.
4. If changing the password, type the old password.
5. Type the new password, then type the password again to verify.
6. Touch OK.
7. Logout of System Administrator mode. Refer to Login or Logout as System Administrator from the Control Panel

I am having exactly the same problem. My new 6515 printer is completely unusable now. 

What is the source of the issue: "Unable to continue. Try again later" ?

I tried everything, even trying to set the same password as the one for my account for this forum (at least 8 letters, some upper cases, digit and special symbols)... but still getting the same uninformative error. 

The link provided by Rebecca924 does not say anything about this error.

So what should I do?

more info, trying to do a factory reset as explained here:

https://forum.support.xerox.com/t5/Security-Accounting-Auditron/Xerox-6515-lost-admin-password/td-p/...

ie, hold on Home button for 10ish seconds, and then do  "Service" login with default password "6789". but then, guess what? whatever I try to access there (eg Devices->Resets or Devices->General) I get the "Unabe to contiune. Try again later"

Hi Gabi,

 thx! that was it!

By default, the printer tried to print a page (or maybe i tried a test one, don't remember), but didn't put any paper yet in the tray... once I cancelled everything in the job list, it worked.
