Reset password Brother 8890DW

we have in our office a brother MFC-8890DW and we lost the password for user "admin" ("access" is the default). How i reset this password (or reset all printer settings)? I cant do any changes (like ip, name etc...) whitout this pass.

In printer display, i cant access any menu option manually, i think its because appears "common user" on bottom display. I do not know where this user came from.

Thanks. sorry for my english. iam from brazil.

For most of the Brother printers the console and web mgmt default passwords are the same "initpass".

1. Try to connect using telnet

   telnet 192.168.1.10 [repalce with your printer ip]

2. Hit enter key to get the password entering UI and then enter the default telnet password access

3. Reset the password using this SET PASSWORD *YOUR-PASSWORD*

Note: when you change the password from telnet it will change both web and telnet passwords. (in my Brother MFC model) You can clear the password if you leave the password as a blank. Also, it will automatically revert the telnet password back to access.
