Samsung CLX-3185 Webmin Reset

[Guest Appothis]

Hello there, I recently setup a Samsung CLX-3185 multifunction workgroup computer onto our network and went into the Syncthru web panel and changed the admin password, however neither the password I typed in or the default password are working anymore..

 

I've tried various variations to no avail.

I've tried blank username and the last 8 digits of the mac address which works on some models, that also failed.

 

This is frustrating as its a brand new printer out of the box and I cannot change most of the settings on it because of this.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks, Phil.

 

P.S. The Samsung customer support are useless.

Have you tried "sec00000"

[Guest Appothis]

I have tried the default one, which was the sec00000 one, I have tried what I changed it too, I have used variations of Admin / Administrator / Samsung

 

I have used the MAC address method..

 

None are working, the machine is working fine for what we need, however we want to switch it's wireless off... which can only be done via the Webmin

Wireless is automatically off if connected via LAN. You can also turn it off via the UI on the machine.

Not sure if you still need this but I was in the same situation and I figured out that the printer only accepted the first 18 chars of the 25 char password that I had made.

An update on this!

 

I spoke to a very helpful lady at Samsung Support this morning about a problem we are having on a CLP-680 - the machine has a IP reservation and I went onto SyncThru and as the pop up recommends changed the username and admin PW. Unfortunately post that I can no longer log on to SyncThru for that machine. She told me that they now no longer recommend changing the username and PW.

 

I want to try updating the FW as this machine causes our Admin staff grief when trying to print larger PDFs.

 

I'm wondering if I reset the machine from it's onboard control panel will it pick up it's Reservation cleanly again?
