Help me e find my password

Hi @Mommamia1,
 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Hi there! If you're trying to find the Wi-Fi password or printer password for your HP printer, here’s a simple breakdown depending on what you're looking for:

1. Wi-Fi Direct or Printer Password (Usually for Setup)

If you're connecting your phone, tablet, or PC directly to the printer via Wi-Fi Direct, your printer broadcasts its own Wi-Fi network, and you'll need its default password.

👉 How to Find It:

• Printed label on the printer – Check the printer’s back, side, or under the scanner lid.
• Wi-Fi Direct default password is often:
  • 12345678
  • Or printed as "Wi-Fi Direct password" on a label or configuration page.

2. Print Network Configuration Page

You can print this to find passwords or IP settings:

On most HP printers:

1. Go to the printer's control panel (screen).
2. Tap Settings > Reports > Network Configuration Page.
3. Look for:
   • Wi-Fi Direct Password
   • Network SSID and IP Address

3. Access Printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

If the printer is already on your Wi-Fi, you can open its settings on a web browser.

Steps:

1. Print the Network Configuration Page to find the IP address.
2. On your PC, open a browser and go to:
   http://[your printer’s IP address]
3. Log in (default may be admin, with no password unless one was set).
4. Under Network or Wi-Fi Direct, you can view or reset the password

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
