Xerox printer default admin passwords

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.

⚠️ Important: If the password 1111 doesn’t work, the admin password may have already been changed. In this case, you will need to reset the printer to factory settings or consult your IT administrator.

  2. Open a web browser and enter: http://<printer_ip>
  3. Click on Login at the top right.
  4. Enter the default admin username and password.

Changing the Default Password

After your first successful login, follow these steps to change the default password:

  1. Log in as admin.
  2. Navigate to Properties > Security > Password Policies.
  3. Set a strong, unique password.
  4. Save the changes and log out.

Final Thoughts

Using default credentials is essential for the initial configuration of your Xerox printer. However, leaving them unchanged poses a significant security risk. Always document changes securely and restrict admin access to trusted personnel only.
