brother printer firmware update password reset

I spent many hours doing a variety of factory resets and trying the password above, "access". Apparently, Brother pushed out a firmware update recently which changed the default password on many devices to "initpass". So, if you are locked out of the web interface give this a try.

It looks like you might be able to reset to factory settings via the control panel on the device as well.

From Brother's FAQ:

Via the control panel (only for network ready models)

1. Make sure the machine is not operating, then disconnect all the cables from the machine (except power cable).
2. Press the Menu or Menu/Set key on the control panel.
3. Press up or down navigation key to select LAN or Network and press Set, Menu/Set or OK.
4. Press up or down navigation key to select Factory Reset or Network Reset and press Set, Menu/Set or OK.
5. Select Reset.
6. Select Yes.
7. The machine will re-start, re-connect cables once this is complete.
