FAQs & Troubleshooting
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 unauthorized 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 the network settings to factory default to regain access to these settings. We cannot help you recover a lost password.
(For wireless network connection user)
If your Brother machine is connected to the wireless network and reset the network settings to factory default, you must reconnect your Brother machine to the wireless network again.
