I have never had a password to connect to my printer but would like one if possible.

@L_Chettle-12, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

Wifi-Direct is used only if you do not have access to a personal wireless router.

For more info, refer to - HP printer setup (Wi-Fi Direct)

The default password is 12345678

 

There is no other password for the printer. If you are trying to connect the printer to a router, use the WPS method - Connecting an HP Printer Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

You will have to use the password of that wireless router.

 

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
