Notes

  • According to Three Types of Resets for your HP Officejet 6110,

  •  states that none of these worked to reset the administrator password on an HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One:

  1. Partial Reset

  2. Semi-Full Reset

  3. OOBE Reset

  4. Full Reset

  5. Clear derivatives

  • The clear nmv option returned It is not the default serial number Failed to reset NVM. Changed the serial number to all zeros on a whim to no avail. However, angerion explained how to dump and overwrite the NVM on an HP Photosmart C4480; the options are located under Engineering Menu > Underwear Menu > photo menu: dump nvm=>file and dump file=>nvm.

  • While I was able to dump the NVM to an SD card, attempting to write back a zero-filled NVM2_RAW.DMP returned error 0: unsupported. Renaming to any other filename (including NVM_RAW.DMP, which angerion used) would return error: bad file /fs/sda1/NVM2/NVM2_RAW.DMP.
