Accessing administrative settings on Xerox printers often requires a default username and password—especially when setting up or troubleshooting a device. Whether you’re logging in from the printer control panel or through the web interface, knowing the correct credentials can save you time and frustration.
This guide provides a complete list of default Xerox printer admin passwords, categorized by model series. Always change default passwords after setup to maintain network security.
Why You Need Default Xerox Printer Credentials
Before you can:
- Configure network settings
- Set up scan-to-email
- Update firmware
- Lock down access
…you need to access the device as an administrator. These credentials apply to both the front panel and the embedded web server (EWS) accessed via a browser.
