I forgot the password I set up on my printer when I first purchased it. How can I  reset the wireless password for the printer again?

Hi @Yvonne1210,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I'd like to help!

I understand you need help connecting your printer to your new wireless router. Follow the instructions mentioned below:

Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on the printer

• Prepare a printer for a Wi-Fi connection by restoring the Wi-Fi setup mode.
• When the settings are restored, the printer enters Wi-Fi setup mode for about two hours, making it discoverable during the HP software installation.
• Most printers with a touchscreen: From the Wireless or Setup menu, select Network setup or Settings, and then select Restore Network Settings.
• Most inkjet printers without a touchscreen: Press and hold the Wireless and Cancel buttons until the Power button flashes, and then wait for the Wireless light to flash.

Once you restore the network to defaults, then please follow the instructions on this link to connect the printer back to your PC.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
