Find out how to reset the administrator password on your MAXIFY iB4020 or iB4120 printer.

  • If you have the iB4020 model, the default password is canon.

  • If you have the iB4120 model, the default password is the printer serial number.

You can reset all of the printer's settings at any time. When you do, the administrator password goes back to the default.
