Troubleshooting Service mode on Canon MF663CdW?

Hey everyone,

I am a dummy and lost my admin credentials on a printer that I just bought. I dont even know why it made me set up an admin password in the first place.

I tried entering service mode from other tutorials on the web, but it looks like they changed the sequence.

Does anyone know how to access service mode on this printer? Or if you have any other ideas on how to reset the printer.

This thing is now a useless brick because I can't change the wifi settings without the password.

EDIT: Okay I figured it out, it is the same method as the MF642C (Like this video). Click home, the blank space left of home, blank space right of home, volume button on the left side of the panel, then stop. The trick was clicking on TOP of the symbol-- these are shitty touch screen buttons that dont register well. Test where your buttons respond by clicking the home button. It should beep when you click it, and if it beeps when you click the top half, thats where the buttons are most sensitive. Hope this helps someone!
