he did, and that is when "the fit really hit the shan". ;-)

personally, if i had such a printer on my system and i changed a
factory password, it would be to my user password or root user
password. neither of which i have/will/would forget.

plus, something like this is an ideal reason to use the desktop's
password wallet, it it has one. write it to a file somewhere.
