What is the default password for my Brother machine?
How to check the default password:
The default password to manage this machine's settings is located on the back or bottom of the machine and marked "Pwd ".
(For Brother machines with printing function)
You may also check the default password by printing the Network Configuration Report.
You can see the steps with video clips.

We strongly recommend changing the default login password in order to protect your machine from unauthorised access.
If you've created a custom password for your Brother machine's settings, and you've forgotten the password, you'll have to reset your machine to its factory default settings (such as All Settings Reset or Factory Reset ). We cannot help you recover a lost password.
For more information, see your model's Online User's Guide .> You can find the latest Online User's Guide in the Manuals section.
