Menu Locked messages

[Gizmodynamics]

My workaround of attaching it to a Linux server is still the best option I can find. I already had Linux macines here so it was fairly easy. If anyone else has the same problem then a Raspberry Pi or something similar should be easy to set up as a print-server.

Did you have a fix on this issue? Facing same issue but no response from anyone and couldnt find this topic troubleshooting in google.

I didn't find a solution but found that I could do all that I needed by attaching the printer to a Linux system and using the PostScript driver. I could probably have used password-cracking software but now I don't need it.

Hello Gizmodynamics,

i have the same problem , and i asked if you find any solution to that message menu locked

Thanks Tammy but that won't work. The network menu is locked too so I can't use it to reset the printer.

Here are the instruction to preform a factory reset. 

If the password has been set, then forgotten, follow these steps to reset it to the factory default (factory default is NO password required for access to CWIS). On the Control Panel of the printer:
