Reset The Ethernet Password

Occasionally a user will set a root user password on the Ethernet adapter and then forget it. This is the procedure to reset the root password back to the default (no password).

IMPORTANT First determine the number of dip switches on the back of the adapter, and the Ethernet version from the printer configuration printout.

Do the appropriate procedure for the type of Ethernet contained in the printer.
