Greetings!

 
Welcome to the HP Community. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries. I have reviewed your post and I understand, you are looking for a password to connect your printer to the network. 

 

Don't worry, I'm here to help! To better assist you -

 

1) Can you send us a picture of the screen asking you to enter the password? 
2) Have you tried the router password? 


If you are prompted to enter the password when you select the printer's Wi-Fi from the Wi-Fi settings on your phone, it is asking you to enter the Wireless Direct password. 

 

Please try the solutions mentioned below -

 

Solution# 1 Try the default password -

 

The default password is 12345678, enter this in the password prompt. 

 

If the default password does not work, please print a Network Configuration page and look for a Wi-Fi or a Wireless Direct password.

 

Solution# 2  To print a Network Configuration page -

 

From the printer control panel, press the Wireless button and the Information button together to print the network configuration page.


If you'd like to connect the printer to the router, please refer to the video links below for instructions -
