Login to HP 150nw admin user via the web console, default credentials

Image
  HP 150NW Admin Login I had this issue today when I was trying to web into the network interface of a HP 150NW network printer, the default username and password credentials. After searching the printer i found no password for the admin login, and also no information online worked for default credentials, it turns out it is the WPS code that you need to enter. Username : admin Password : WPS Code To get this code hold down the paper button on the printer which will print off your summary pages including the WPS code. Next web to the IP address of the printer, and then click login. Enter the admin username and WPS passkey and you will now have admin access and be able to change the IP address etc etc. If this helps Please think about a little tip for me (all goes to my kids) current rate is £3

HP Desktop PC, no keyboards work , errors in device manager

Image
I had an issue this week with a PC that would boot to windows but then have no keyboards working, also in even viewer it would show keyboard devices with errors. The fix was a Regedit. Open Regedit Navigate to  Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}   In there go to Upper Filters and remove the HP items so it should just read kbdclass. save and reboot your machine. Fingers crossed it boots up with a keyboard this time! Buy me a beer :)

Office 2013 Asking for Password 365 Exchange - no reason just started happening

Image
So todays issue revolves around office 2013 and exchange 365 accounts.  I had an issue with a user's machine that just kept asking for the password but would not accept it, the login box kept coming back up. Turns out 2013 uses an old auth method so we need to force it to use the new method. So using regedit you need to add the below key Registry key Type Value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\AlwaysUseMSOAuthForAutoDiscover REG_DWORD 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\EnableADAL REG_DWORD 1 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\Version REG_DWORD 1 You May also create a reg key file if you wanted to do a few machines Enable modern authentication for Office 2013 clients Close Outlook. Copy and paste the following text into Notepad: text Copy Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange] "AlwaysUseMSOAuthForAutoDiscover"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRE...

Sbs 2011 Migration to 365 - Autodiscover change

Image
If you are migrating from exchange on site to exchange 365 you may notice the machines will still look locally for the auto discover reference and not go to your new 365 setup. In Exchange PowerShell on your SBS server run the below command - Set-ClientAccessServer –Identity “your CAS servername” –AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri $NULL *Putting your server name in the command. After this has been done the machines will no longer look locally for the auto discover record Buy me a beer :)  

Office 365 - Outlook 365 sign in window disappears unable to login

Image
Had an issue today in outlook where the sign-in window to add the credentials kept on disappearing, little bit annoying for the user as no emails were coming through. Tracked it down to a registry change, once this was added the login box popped up as normal. Go to the registry editor (Win+R; regedit)   go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft ->Office -> 16.0 ->Common -> Identity   Inside "Identity", create a new REG_DWORD value called "EnableADAL" and leave the value at 0   the login window is slightly different but it works :)   Buy me a beer :)
