AFAICT, the factory-default is "admin" and no/empty password.
Its users manual is here:

BTW: AFAICT, sw-wise all HP 86xxs (8610, 8620, 8630, ...) are very
similar, so his question should also apply to these.

#1 item to try would be to try on the printer's touch-display. Most
settings are available there, too. I never tried this on my printer for
hopefully understandable reasons, but if desperate, I'd try a factory
reset (cf. the manual).
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.
My wild guess on the cause of "I know my passwd is correct, but
can't
log into it anymore" would be "firewalls" (on computer, router and
printer) or problems related to the basic network setup (dhcp, https, etc).
