HP Default Login - Control Panel

HP and the admin page: usually a printer

HP does not make home Wi-Fi routers today. When people look for an HP admin login, they usually need the settings page of an HP printer, which HP calls the Embedded Web Server (EWS). Our database lists one HP network device, the HP Wireless Printer Upgrade Server (RSVLD-0603), with no default address or password.

How to open the HP printer page

1. Find the printer’s IP address. Print a network configuration page from the printer’s control panel, or look at the network info on its display.
2. Type that address into the browser on a device connected to the same network, for example http://192.168.1.25. Use the address shown, not a router address.
3. Accept the certificate warning if the printer opens over HTTPS.

The EWS password

Some pages open without a password. When the page asks for one, HP’s instructions for LaserJet printers are to enter admin as the username and the PIN printed on the printer’s label. If there is no PIN on the label, the password was set by whoever manages the printer. Generic pairs such as admin / admin, which circulate online, are not an official default.

When the page does not open

• The printer is on another network, such as a guest Wi-Fi. Connect both devices to the same network.
• The printer got a new address. Print the network page again; reserve the address in the router so it stays the same.
• You need the router, not the printer. Find your default gateway and see our guide to connecting a printer to Wi-Fi.
