Product: Office Jet 6958
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I just purchased the HP Office Jet 6958 from Costco.  While I was trying to set up the Wi-Fi Direct connection I notice that on the control panel display the password is set at 12345678.  Why is the password so easy?  Can the password be changed?
