@Szabie,

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. I see from your post that you need information and assistance related to password for your HP DeskJet printer. No worries, I'll be glad to assist you.

 I see that the printer is asking for a password. Let's try entering 12345678 and check . This can happen If the Wi-Fi Direct connection security for the printer is Automatic.

If the Wi-Fi Direct is set to manual and you're not sure of the password, you can try to print  Wireless Network Test Report and Network configuration Page : 

This will have the information of the password information. For more details, please go through the User guide of your printer - Chapter 7. Connect your printer - Connect wirelessly to the printer without a router page number 65

Once done, you can try to follow these links which should help you connect the printer to the wireless network. 

For Windows - HP DeskJet 2600 Printers - Wireless Printer Setup (Windows)

For Mac - HP DeskJet 2600 Printers - Wireless Printer Setup (Mac)

For printing using Wi-Fi Direct - HP Printers - Printing with Wi-Fi Direct

Could you please respond to this post with the details and with the results of the troubleshooting as this will help me in further assisting you.

Eagerly waiting for your response!
