Reset Admin Password

[KIITSupport]

Hello,

We changed the admin password on or Versalink C500 and now we cannot access the printer.  Does anyone know how to reset the printer to factory defaults?

Thanks,

Matt

You can't reset it yourself without providing Admin credentials, you will need to call Xerox and have them do it.

yes , its indeed a verry complicated process now on versalink

you need to give the counters, they based on those counters you will get a printfile, that you can print with a small utility, then the password is resetted

Xerox sent someone out here for $300 to reset it.  Basically, if you lose it - consder if it is worth purchasing a new printer or having it reset.

Can you also outline the number to call? Is there also a way to initiate the request thru the Support portal?

Hi Fabio,

Thank you for your help. I'm definitely a novice and I'm having the same issue. Could you explain your answer a little more? What counters?

Will this procedure work for the Xerox 6515 work centre also? Thanks in advance for your help.

The control pad and screen on the 6515 looks very similar to the C500. It's worth a shot to try.
