How do I reset my password on my wifi to print wirelessly

A very warm welcome to the HP community. A very good day to you. 

 

I understand that you have an HP printer. I read that you have forgotten the password for the printer and would like to reset it inorder to connect to the wifi. I'd like to assist you with this case.

 

To provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

  • Are you unable to access the printer setup menu? Is it asking you to enter a password?
  • Normally, while connecting a printer to the wifi network, the wifi security key or password must be entered so that the printer connects to the wifi. So you just the printer password and not the wifi password, correct?
  • Please let me know the exact product model no. This link will help you to find the model no: http://hp.care/2bygf7l

Meanwhile, please refer to this HP article to know how to find your wireless WEP, WPA, WPA2 Password (Windows) and this HP article for Mac OS.

 

Please feel free to reply and I'll assist you further. Cheers! 🙂

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

The password would be 12345678. If this doesn't work, we will restore the network settings on the Printer: Press the Wireless button ( ) and the Cancel button ( ) from the printer control panel at the same time, and then hold them for three seconds.

 

Let me know if this helps.

 

If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution button, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

 

Thanks!

Have a great day!
