 Use meaningless random passwords. Passwords that are real words or phrases are easier to guess. The latest password cracking tools follow dictionaries to narrow down the possibilities.  Record the passwords in a safe but hidden place. The passwords are designed to restrict access to management options on the MFPs. Losing a password can eliminate your access to settings. This is most important for the Bootloader Password. The Bootloader Password is a permanent setting that can never be changed or reset without the correct password.

All of these settings are presented for HP Web Jetadmin Version 10.1 or later. Note: If you are setting this checklist for a group of several printers at once, Web Jetadmin will display all supported settings for all the MFPs it is managing, even though some of the MFPs may not support all of these settings.
