This feature has been locked

My printer is showing the following message:  "The feature has been locked by the system administrator or the person who set up the printer."   This message shows up on my network connection page, fax set up page, etc.   How do I remove it?  I'm the only one who uses this computer, and I did not lock it... at least not knowingly.
Thanks in advance for any help with this matter!!!

Hi @KarenSel,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are getting the error, "this feature has been locked", with your printer, and I am happy to look into this for you!
For further assistance, I will need to know: a) The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. b) If the printer is able to make copies. c) If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
Please see this post, Want Good Answers? Ask Good Questions, by @Bob_Headrick, so you can get the most out of these forums.  
Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

  • Error Message "feature has been locked by system administrator"

    I recently moved and tried to reconnect my priniter to the new wireless network but I get an error message saying, "this feature has been locked by your system administrator or person who the person who setup the printer." When I set up the priniter it did not ask me for a password and I have no idea how to unclock the wireless wizard. HELP!

    You might have had a nice neighbor who did that for you. 
    What printer do you have?
    You could try restoring the printer to factory.  That feature is in the settings menu on most printers.

    I have an ipad that has been 'locked up' since 10 a.m. cent. time this morning! I cannot do anything to get it to shut off or reset. What do I need to do?

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • I have a ipad which has been locked due to the owner claiming it was lost.  I have had the serial no. checked and it is not stolen but I can't use it.

    i have a ipad which has been locked due to the owner claiming it was lost.  I have had the serial no. checked and it is not stolen but I can't use it.  I have talked to the owner many times who refuses to give me the password or has no idea what password was used.

    Unfortuinately there is nothing that can be done.
    If its locked its locked.  This is a theft deterrant mechanism.
    If you could unlock "stolen" ipads then there would be no purpose for the feature.
    You will have to convince the owner you bought it correctly, or accept its no lonnger usable by you until the original owner removes the lock.

  • My usual iCloud account has been locked out.  I tried the email link - didn't receive an email.   So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc..

    My usual Apple ID/iCloud account has been locked out.  I tried the email link - didn't receive an email.   So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc..  How do I get the Apple ID I want to use working again?   Help. 

    Hi JkeeneSoldano,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    From:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

  • Stolen Mac has been locked via Find my Mac, anyway to get IP address of where it was connected so i can trace that way

    So my Macbook Air was stolen last year (May 2012), recieved an email this morning from Apple saying it had been "Locked".... Besides the locked indication i want to be able to find out where it is... Surely Apple will keep a log of the IP address that it was connected to when the "Lock" signal was sent...
    Who is best to contact to get that info?

    I have the same issue - I had my Macbook Air stolen last week and just received notification that a sound has been played on it and that it has been locked. However, it hasn't told me where it is, so I'm none the wiser...

  • My Apple ID has been locked, no outstanding payments, lots of apps so a new Apple ID is not an option. How do I unlock it?

    My apple acout has been locked for about a year or longer now because clickandbuy tried to withdraw money from my account but it rejected automatic transfers so I ended up having to pay it through my bank. It has been paid for a long time but my account is still locked so I can´t even purchase FREE apps. This is a real hassle for me since making a new apple ID is not an option (I have a lot of epensive apps on my account).
    TL;DR: Is it possible to get my account unlocked?
    Kind regards & happy holidays,

    Can't seem to change the Document Properties > Advanced > Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    LiveCycle forms use a very different approach to create a PDF form than Acrobat and that approach makes many features for processing PDFs non-functional.
