What If You Do Not Have the Admin Password?
This is the trickier part. You do not have the administrator password to access WIM. I have found a solution on the Internet which might help you solve this problem. Please be aware that I do not personally own a Aficio SP 4100N so this solution might not be working.
You can change/delete a admin password by logging into WIM (Web Image Monitor) with the default user name and password:
- Username: supervisor
- Password: (leave blank, there is no password).
If the Supervisors account details have been changed and you do not know the details,
you will have to do a NVRAM replacement to regain control and access to the machine. A NVRAM (Non-volatile random access memory) is a piece of computer memory chip where all the user login and password information/settings are stored in your Aficio SP 4100N. |

No problem, glad to see the information is useful for you ;)
I second that. Thanks!
