Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

 

To connect wirelessly to the printer without a router, press the Wireless Direct button from the printer control panel.

 

If this is the first time you turn on HP wireless direct,a How to Connect information page will be printed out.

 

Follow the instructures on the printed information page.

 

NOTE: HP wireless direct with security is enabled by default when you turn it on. The HP wireless direct password can be found by printing the information page. The information page may not be available in all languages. It only can be printed automatically when you first enable HP wireless direct.

 

To print the information page, press and hold the Wireless Direct button for more than 3 seconds. If HP wireless direct is turned on, the Wireless Direct status light is solid on.

 

Here's the userguide fyi:

HI @JainikPatel

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

One way we know that you can change the password is through the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

 

In order to do that, you need to get your printer connected to a network via a PC (or Mac) and use the IP address to access the EWS.

 

This resource will show you how it's done:
